Real Madrid have completed the signing of highly rated Spanish striker Manu Navarro from Real Betis as the club continues to strengthen its youth academy with emerging talent.
According to Madrid Universal, the deal, which was initially agreed in April, has now been finalised. Navarro joins after an impressive season in Betis’ academy, where he scored 23 goals to establish himself as one of Spain’s most promising young forwards.
The striker is expected to begin his Real Madrid career in the club’s youth setup, with coaches confident he has the potential to develop into a top-class attacker.
Navarro’s arrival continues Real Madrid’s recent trend of recruiting talented youngsters from Real Betis. Alex Mora, Jairo Morilla and Hugo Moreno have all previously made the move from the Seville-based club, while the Spanish giants are also reported to be monitoring another Betis academy prospect, Thiago Polo.
Real Betis had offered Navarro a new contract in an attempt to retain him, but the opportunity to join Real Madrid ultimately convinced the young striker to make the switch.
