FC Barcelona has found a driving force for the future in its youth system. With youngsters like Gavi and Lamine Yamal shining in the first team, the model of betting on La Masia has become a benchmark. However, Real Madrid is not far behind.
According to various sources, Florentino Pérez has already taken a step forward to match the Barça bet. At the center of his attention is Aarón Martín, CD Tenerife midfielder. It is no secret that the youngster has captured the attention of all of Spain.
Florentino Pérez Wants the New Dani Olmo
At just 17 years old, Aarón Martín has exploded into the spotlight at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López. His ability to change games from the center of the field and his maturity in the game have led to him being compared to other young prodigies such as Dani Olmo. However, many analysts are already pointing out that his ceiling is even higher than that of the Barça attacking midfielder.
Dani Olmo shines with his creativity and vision. On the other hand, Aarón shows an explosive combination of technique, physique and competitive character. Compared to Marc Casadó, another promising youngster from the Barça youth academy, Aarón stands out for his immediate impact in important matches and his ability to lead from the center of the field.
Coach Pepe Mel has played a crucial role in Aaron's development, recalling his work with Pedri at Las Palmas. Under his tutelage, the youngster has played 13 official matches. He has scored two goals and provided an assist, performances that have sparked the interest of the big clubs.
He has a buyout clause of eight million euros. Now CD Tenerife faces a dilemma: protect the player or take advantage of the economic opportunity he represents.
Florentino Pérez enters the scene
Florentino Pérez is known for his ability to close strategic deals. The president has already started contacts with the player's entourage through the MRH soccer Agency. Close sources indicate that Madrid plans to replicate the Barça model, seeking to integrate promising young Spaniards into the first team, which strengthens their bond with the National Team.
Although Sevilla have also shown interest, Real Madrid's offer seems to have considerable weight in the decision of the player and his entourage.
The new Dani Olmo, in white?
The name of Aarón Martín is becoming increasingly popular in the offices of Santiago Bernabéu. His innate talent, combined with a winning mentality, makes him an ideal candidate to become the next great figure in Spanish soccer.
Real Madrid seem determined to consolidate their commitment to young talents. It would not be surprising if Aarón Martín wears the white jersey sooner rather than later. In the meantime, the young Canary Islander continues to show that Spanish soccer has a new rising star.
