Jorge Castillo: Real Madrid Eyes Atletico’s Youth Talent

Real Madrid have expressed interest in signing Jorge Castillo, a midfielder who plays for Atlético de Madrid’s Under-19s.

The player already has a professional contract and has trained with the first team on several occasions.

In recent years, Real Madrid has often looked to Atlético de Madrid’s youth system for talent.

Players like the media-savvy full-back Jesús Fortea, goalkeeper Sergio Mestre, and others such as Ariel Nkoghe, Andrés Córcoba, Nacho Alameda, Noah Corona, Íñigo Fresco, and Jaime Alameda have all made the switch, leaving behind their red shirts.

Jorge Castillo, who is 18 years old, could soon join this list.

According to Relevo, the club is keeping a close eye on this promising midfielder, who plays for Juvenil A and recently scored his first goal in the Youth League against Paris Saint-Germain.

If Real Madrid decides to pursue him, they will face a tough challenge in convincing a player who appears deeply committed to Atlético and has trained with their first team on several occasions.

As of now, the Majadahonda native has not renewed his contract, meaning he will be free to negotiate with any club starting in January.

Naturally, Atlético is eager to keep him and is already working on a contract renewal to prevent him from leaving for free.
