Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid tracking teenage Spanish prodigy

According to SPORT, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid are among the clubs tracking the progress of Real Zaragoza prodigy Alejandro Monserrate.

Real Madrid always have their sights on up-and-coming young talent across the globe. Only last year, the club secured a deal to sign Brazilian wonderkid Endrick from Palmeiras, with the striker set to arrive in 2024, when he turns 18.

Real Madrid have also been linked with 16-year-old Croatian prospect Luka Vuskovic of Hajduk Split.

Now, it seems like they have cast their sights on a move for Alejandro Monserrate of Zaragoza. The young midfielder is currently part of Real Zaragoza’s youth team which participates in the División de Honor Juvenil.

A left-footed midfielder, Monserrate is capable of playing as a No. 8 or a No. 10. As per the report, the youngster is known for his vision, accurate distribution, ability to play a killer last pass as well as an eye for the goal.

Monserrate’s potential and abilities have put him on the radars of top clubs, including Real Madrid.

However, Los Blancos will have to face competition from arch-rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Barça beat Real Madrid to the capture of Spanish jewel Pablo Torre last summer and if the Merengues’ interest in Monserrate is serious, they will be keen on avoiding a repeat of that scenario.

Atletico Madrid could also be an attractive destination for Monserrate, looking at how someone like Pablo Barrios has gone onto become a first-team regular under Diego Simeone this season.

Zaragoza, for their part, are aware that they cannot keep hold of their prized jewel for much longer. It remains to be seen where Monserrate, also known as ‘Jano’, ends up come summer.
