Real Madrid is still looking for new talent to strengthen the squad. Now on their radar is a player from their eternal rival, Atlético Madrid.
This young talent has stood out in the red-white youth system and attracted the interest of Real Madrid. Despite the difficulties involved in a transfer of this caliber, Real Madrid is not ruling out making a move in the near future.
The Gem of Atlético De Madrid
Jorge Castillo is one of the most promising players in Atlético's youth system. Since his arrival at the club, he has proven to be an outstanding talent, capable of leading his team with great maturity for his age.
His role as captain of the Juvenil A team has been key and his development has been unstoppable. At Atlético de Madrid, he is considered one of the most important pieces for the future. In addition, his mental capacity and his close environment are two factors that have played a fundamental role in his development.
Real Madrid's Interest and the Complication of the Transfer
Although the news of this interest may surprise many, Real Madrid have been monitoring Jorge Castillo for months. The club has been closely following his progress. Although the operation doesn't seem easy, Florentino Pérez doesn't rule out the possibility of signing the player in the future.
However, this transfer would be very complicated, given the relationship that the young footballer has with Atlético de Madrid. The red-white club is aware of the interest of its neighbours and, therefore, is trying to renew his contract before it ends in June 2025.
The Link with Atlético de Madrid
Jorge Castillo is a player who has been in the Atlético de Madrid youth system for years. He feels deeply identified with the values of the club, which has created a strong emotional bond with the club. This makes his possible departure even more complex.
However, the player hasn't renewed his contract, which leaves the door open for his possible departure. Atlético has made attempts to keep him at the club. Howver, Real Madrid has proven to be willing to try to take advantage of any opportunity that may arise.
Simeone's Reaction
The possible departure of Jorge Castillo from Atlético de Madrid would be a hard blow for Diego Simeone and his coaching staff. The Argentine has opted for the youth team on several occasions. The departure of such an important player for the future of the club could leave the Atlético manager worried.
The relationship between Simeone and the youth team players is strong. Therefore, losing one of the leaders of the youth team cannot be easy news at the Metropolitano.
