“Barcelona” and big clubs competed for it. “Real Madrid” kidnapped the young Spanish “jewel”.

Real Madrid have managed to complete the move of 15-year-old young talent Raul Lima from Deportivo’s youth academy, a deal that is a painful blow to Barcelona, ​​who have been desperate to sign the player.

Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo reports that Real Madrid will pay a fee for Lima’s transfer, with the fee increasing gradually as the player progresses through the Royals’ academy on a three-year deal.

Lima, a left winger and under-16 international, is considered one of the hottest emerging talents in Spanish football, with Barcelona and clubs in England and Portugal showing strong interest in signing him, but Real Madrid were the quickest to make a formal offer to seal the deal.

The deal comes as part of Real Madrid’s ongoing strategy to bring in some of Spain’s and Europe’s top young talent, with the aim of strengthening the club’s academy and securing a bright future for the first team.

Lima is expected to join the ranks of Real Madrid’s academy in the coming days, where he will undergo an intensive development program aimed at honing his skills and qualifying him to join the first team in the future.

The deal is a painful blow for Barcelona, ​​who have been unable to compete with Real Madrid to sign the young talent despite their keen interest in the player and close monitoring of him recently.
