Real Madrid closing in a double signing for La Fabrica – report

Real Madrid are expected to undergo an important summer, with the club looking to shore up their first team by bringing in quality players.

However, the club remain equally keen on shoring up their ranks in the youth academy that has produced a series of young talents in the recent past.

To that end, Real Madrid are currently in active talks to potentially sign two talented youth players from Rayo Vallecano.

Big coup for La Fabrica?

According to AS, Real Madrid are closing in on the signings of Sergio Castellon and Pablo Bellosillo from Rayo Vallecano, with both deals reported to be in their final stages.

Castellon, an 18-year-old left winger with a striker’s instinct, and Bellosillo, a 19-year-old right-back with an attacking mentality, are both considered among the brightest prospects at Rayo’s academy.

Known as Caste and Bello respectively, the pair only strengthened their case for a move to Valdebebas this Sunday, with both getting on the scoresheet for Rayo B against Intercity in the Segunda RFEF.

Castellon, who made his debut for the reserve side just nine days ago after an impressive campaign in the Division de Honor, scored his second goal in as many appearances.

Bellosillo, whose proposed move was first reported by ESPN, was equally influential after coming off the bench to score the decisive third goal of the afternoon.

Should the deals go through as expected, Real Madrid C in the Segunda RFEF would likely be their next destination, providing a natural stepping stone for their development.

The report adds that performance-based bonuses are expected to be included in both transfers, reflecting the strong relationship between the two Madrid clubs at the youth level. Real Madrid have been working on these signings for some time.
