Spanish football powerhouse Real Madrid is reportedly in advanced negotiations to sign Lamini Fati, an 18-year-old central defender from CD Leganés.
The move aligns with Real Madrid’s long-standing strategy of identifying and nurturing young talents. Reports from sources indicate that the club’s recruitment team has identified Fati as a promising addition to their squad.
The youngster has been impressing with CD Leganés’ reserve team, catching the attention of scouts from Europe’s elite clubs.
Fati boasts a unique heritage, with roots in Guinea-Bissau (paternal) and Angola (maternal). While he currently plays in the Spanish lower leagues, his performances have positioned him as a rising star in football.
Should the deal materialise, Fati is expected to start with Real Madrid’s youth team, where he will have the opportunity to acclimate to the club’s playing style and philosophy.
From there, he could progress to Real Madrid Castilla and, eventually, the first team under Carlo Ancelotti’s guidance.
