Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Under-16 Italian international and AC Milan schemer Hachim Mastour.
Known for spending big money on established stars, Real Madrid are also keen on recruiting the brightest young talents across the globe and made their intentions known by snapping up the highly coveted Norwegian starlet Martin Odegaard earlier this week.
And now according to Madrid-based daily Marca, Los Blancos are turning their attention towards another 16-year-old schemer, currently playing at AC Milan.
Mastour joined AC Milan’s youth academy in 2012 and after progressing through the ranks, he made it to Filippo Inzaghi’s bench this season, despite his tender years.
Though he is still to make his senior debut for the club, the 16-year-old is highly rated within the walls of the San Siro and scouts from across Europe have marked him out as one to watch out for in the future.
