Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid to the signing of Spanish attacking prospect
In recent months, Real Madrid have been going all out in their bid to strengthen the club’s academy and reserve ranks.
During the January window, the Merengues welcomed several new faces into their youth teams, with talents like Alexis Ciria, Guille Gonzalez, Adrian Arnu, Iker Doblas, and Manex Rezola.
Real Madrid continue to be on the lookout for more such young players, with a move for CF Damm attacking talent Clifford Nana in the works.
Real Madrid secure Aaron Silva
Now, according to journalist Rodra of ESPN, Real Madrid have secured the signing of Leganes U-16 forward Aaron Silva.
In the process, Los Blancos have beaten their neighbours and bitter rivals Atletico Madrid to the teenage striker’s capture.
Indeed, Atletico Madrid appeared set to sign the youngster from the Leganes youth setup, with negotiations being advanced.
However, after learning about the development, Real Madrid swooped in swiftly and prevailed in negotiations to clinch Silva’s signing for La Fabrica.
A prolific forward with great potential, Silva has impressed for Leganes U-16 team, having scored 19 goals in the Madrid Community Cadet Super League, where he is the top scorer.
Silva was also a part of the Madrid Community U-16 side that won the ‘Spanish Champions Cup’ (CESA) 2025/26 U-16 title recently.
The young forward will soon start plying his trade at La Fabrica with the hope of making it into the Real Madrid first-team squad in the near future.
Real Madrid youngster Endrick continues to attract interest from several clubs ahead of another potential loan move in the upcoming January transfer window.
The latest side considering a move for the Brazilian forward is Aston Villa.
Indeed, according to reports relayed by Bernabeu Digital, the Premier League club are interested in signing the Real Madrid striker on loan in January.
No minutes for Endrick
Endrick has had very limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season. Across Real Madrid’s nine matches in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, the Brazilian has played just four minutes, coming on in the 86th minute against Elche.
Such limited playing time has left the young forward struggling to gain the minutes and experience needed to develop his talent at Real Madrid.
As such, another loan move, like last January when he left for Olympique Lyon, could offer him a chance to play more regularly and continue his progression.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, have now emerged as an interested party to acquire the Brazilian international’s services on loan for the second half of the season.
AC Milan also interested in Endrick
Howver, Aston Villa are not the only club monitoring Endrick’s situation. AC Milan have also renewed their interest in the Brazilian forward.
The Rossoneri already held an interest in the 20-year-old forward during the summer transfer window and are knocking on the doors once again now.
In fact, some reports in Italy even go on to suggest that the youngster is ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign for the Serie A giants.
For now, however, there have been no concrete developments or formal approaches from any interested club.
Real Madrid are understood to be open to allowing Endrick to leave on loan, but they are not considering a permanent sale as they still have a lot of faith in the promising attacker whom they signed from Palmeiras.
With Aston Villa and AC Milan both interested, the coming months could prove important in determining where the young Brazilian will continue his development.
