Talent hunting is a major issue for all major European clubs. We all remember, for example, declarations of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi when he arrived in Paris on the quest for the future Messi. For the moment, PSG has not yet found it, but the red and blue, like all its competitors, have eyes all over the world to find the right deal. Specialist in the recruitment of young Brazilians in recent years, Real Madrid is a reference in this area.
The Casa Blanca does not always play players formed at the club in the first team, but its training center remains highly rated since several elements have managed to break through in the four corners of the old continent without having shone at the Merengues. This Friday, AS We learn that the European Champions 2024 are more than ever on the lookout for new nuggets and that they now target the northern part of the American continent.
A selection within several major American cities
A project was launched with the Abbott health multinational to give nearly 1250 young people between 18 and 19 years old to join the Real Madrid training center. Selections are organized in several cities in the United States (Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles) between June 17 and July 24. “All will participate in intensive football training sessions led by Real Madrid coaches and will receive education in health and nutrition from Abbott”said one of the program officials in the Spanish newspaper.
The objective of the Merengues will then be to choose the best elements and have them cross the Atlantic in order to test them in Valdebebas. These young people will also be invited to a match at Santiago Bernabéu before taking sports nutrition lessons at the Abbott-Real Madrid laboratory. The best could then be offered to stay in the Spanish capital while the rest will leave in the country of Uncle Sam.
