Barcelona, Real Madrid 'battling for Spanish wonderkid'

Barcelona and Real Madrid are reportedly going head-to-head for the signature of Racing de Santander teenager Pablo Torre.

The 18-year-old has scored six times and registered six assists in 21 appearances in the third tier of Spanish football during the 2021-22 campaign.

Meanwhile, he has already represented his club on 48 occasions, scoring 10 times and contributing 12 assists, which has allegedly attracted a host of interest from major European clubs.

According to Marca, both Barcelona and Real Madrid are keen on the attacking midfielder, who has scored three times in six appearances for Spain Under-19s.

The report claims that a number of teams have been in contact with Torre's agent to register an interest, but the battle is expected to be won by either Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Racing are in a strong position when it comes to any potential negotiations, as the teenager has a contract with the Green and Whites until June 2025.

There is allegedly an agreement between the two parties that the attacker will be allowed to leave El Sardinero this summer for the right price.
