La Liga giants Real Madrid have this weekend closed a deal to add to the club’s attacking ranks.
This comes amid confirmation that Los Blancos have signed Rachad Fettal from fellow Spanish outfit Almería.
Fettal, for his part, is a 20-year-old attacker, who primarily operates in a centre-forward role.
The youngster was already an established first-team player at Almería, having managed 15 league appearances this past season.
And along the way, Fettal evidently did enough to leave an altogether positive impression on those behind the scenes at the aforementioned Real Madrid.
Earlier this month, word was forthcoming that the brass at the Santiago Bernabéu had kicked into gear talks with Almería over a deal for the Moroccan youth international.
And as alluded to above, late this week, such discussions have officially borne fruit.
As per a report from transfer insider Fabrizio Romano:
‘Official: Real Madrid have signed 20 year old striker Rachad Fettal from Almería. Fettal will join Castilla team, as planned.’
