Real Madrid beat Barcelona to sign football prodigy – report

Barcelona’s La Masia is known to be one of the best football academies in the world of football, producing footballers capable of competing with the very best on the pitch.

In the span of a single generation of footballers, they were able to field the likes of Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Busquets, and many more together. And they definitely did not disappoint.

The famed academy, however, did not live up to its billing under the reign of Josep Bartomeu, and it would definitely take time to get it back up and running completely. The elongated tedious nature of the same can be seen in the case of Bryan Bugarin – Celta Vigo’s 12-old-prodigious forward, who according to Moises Llorens, has decided to sign with Real Madrid.

Barcelona and Madrid were in the race to sign the preteen after his performance in the La Liga Promises tournament, impressing the crowd with his incredible finishing. The Catalans, unfortunately, did not offer Bugarin a convincing contract even though he visited the Barcelona academy.

It is likely that Bugarin will join the Infantil A division of Real Madrid, but given his meteoric rise thus far, it will not be too late before he starts competing at the highest division.
