One Fati can hide another. Real Madrid are on the verge of finalizing the arrival of Lamini Fati, a young 18-year-old central defender playing for Leganés, according to information from Relevo. This promising defender, unrelated to Ansu Fati of FC Barcelona, should strengthen the youth teams of the Madrid club.
Faced with a massacre of injuries in its different categories, including that of Joan Martinez (17 years old), victim of a ruptured cruciate ligament, the Fabrica of Real Madrid is going through a delicate period. The arrival of Lamini Fati, noted for his solidity in duels and his sense of anticipation, could bring stability. The player, observed last summer by recruiters during a friendly match between the Real and Leganés reserves, seduced the Madrid management.
Objective: strengthen young teams
Currently injured in the jaw, Lamini Fati should, initially, play with the Real Madrid youth teams, in great difficulty this season. His progress within the club will then decide his possible integration into the professional group. Real Madrid therefore seems to be anticipating future challenges by banking on a young central defender full of potential.
