The agreement that Real Madrid reached with Bayer Leverkusen to take over the services of Spanish striker Iker Bravo, in the form of a loan and with the option of buying by the white team at the end of the season, was ratified by FIFA and the club. He scored it on Monday at the Royal Football Federation of Madrid (RFFM) as part of Castilla
Thus, the 17-year-old striker returns to Spain after a year in Germany to put himself under the orders of the Al-Nashin division of the white team, directed by Raul Gonzalez Blanco, and with the idea that he is part of some first-team training under the orders of Italian Carlo Ancelotti
According to sources close to the footballer, he was happy with his move to Real Madrid, where he will be able to train again in a group, leaving behind individual training sessions with his physical coach that he implemented during the past twenty days while concluding an agreement that was only waiting for the final details and the necessary approval from FIFA on the transfer of minors
For now, the third youngest player in history to make his Bundesliga debut will have to wait to train at Valdebebas, as he focused on Monday with the Spanish Under-19 side led by Santi Denia with the goal of two friendlies against Israel: Tuesday and Thursday
These will be preparations for the first stage of the European Under-19 Championship, which will take place from September 21 to 27, which will be held in Las Rozas de Madrid, behind closed doors for security reasons due to the complex situation that Israel is going through
After this training camp, Iker Bravo will make himself available to Raul Gonzalez and can make his first match in Castilla next Sunday in their match against Racing de Ferrol. In addition, the Spanish striker will be part of the squad that Real Madrid will compete in the UEFA Youth League
Thus, the international striker in the lower categories of Spain even under 19, who highlights 11 goals in 14 matches with under 17, will join a team where his idol Cristiano Ronaldo plays, and he will be. Able to share training when Ancelotti contacted him with the footballer he is currently looking to improve, Karim Benzema, he admitted in an interview with EFE last June
The young footballer spoke, “When he leaves the area he knows how to play very well, since I can play as a ’10’ and can tie well, sometimes I feel comfortable in his game”
