Real Madrid is on the verge of securing one of Spain’s most exciting young talents, with Sevilla striker Alexis Ciria reportedly close to joining the “Merengues.”
As part of Florentino Pérez’s ongoing strategy to recruit elite youth prospects, the 18-year-old forward has been identified as a priority for the club’s academy, with a view to a future first-team role. According to Rodra (ESPN), the deal is in its final stages and could be officially announced in the coming days.
A Rising Star from Badajoz
Developed within Sevilla’s prestigious youth system, Alexis Ciria has long been regarded as one of the “crown jewels” of the Andalusian club. Standing at 1.81m, the Badajoz-born striker is known for his clinical finishing and tactical intelligence, qualities that have earned him a regular spot in the Spain Under-18 national team.
Season Stats and Development
While Ciria has yet to make his professional debut for Sevilla’s senior squad, his performances for the B and C teams have caught the eye of Real Madrid’s scouts:
- Sevilla B: 9 appearances this season.
- Sevilla C: 3 appearances, 1 goal.
With a current market valuation of approximately €200,000, Real Madrid is looking to move quickly before other European giants enter the race. The youngster is expected to initially join Real Madrid Castilla or the Juvenil A squad to continue his development under the club’s elite coaching staff.
