Real Madrid close to signing 15-year-old former Barcelona academy talent | OneFootball

While not strengthening the first-team roster in the recent transfer window, Real Madrid bolstered their youth and reserve ranks with multiple new signings.

Indeed, Real Madrid roped in several young talents such as Adrian Arnu, Manex Rezola, Alexis Ciria, Iker Doblas, and Guille Gonzalez.

The Merengues were also in a direct war with Barcelona for the signing of Racing Santander starlet Sergio Martinez, also nothing came of it in the end.

Real Madrid close to Clifford Nana capture

Now, according to journalist Rodra of ESPN, Real Madrid are closing in on the capture of another talented youth prospect in Clifford Nana.

Formerly of FC Barcelona’s youth academy, the 15-year-old winger, born in April 2010, is currently playing for CF Damm, where he has been since the summer of 2023.

Currently a part of the Catalan club’s Cadete A setup, the attacker has scored seven goals in 11 matches this season, following up on a strong campaign last time out when he bagged 16 goals from 26 matches for the Cadete B team.

A powerful winger with an eye for a goal, Clifford Nana will be a signing made with an eye on the future at Real Madrid.

It will be interesting to see if he joins a youth team or is thrust right into Castilla or Real Madrid C when he does arrive from CF Damm.

Another Victor Munoz?

Real Madrid had previously acquired the services of Victor Munoz from the Catalan club, who had also spent time at the Barça youth setup before moving to CF Damm.

The winger made his first-team debut for Los Blancos last season but was sold to Osasuna in the summer transfer window, where he is impressing.

So much so that Real Madrid are closely tracking his progress at the La Liga club, knowing that they have a buyback clause on the 22-year-old.

The club will hope that Clifford Nana, once he arrives at the club, also follows a similar trajectory and goes on to make it even big in the first team.
