La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid are reportedly tracking the progress of another Argentine prodigy, with Tomas Parmo emerging as a target.
According to a report by Spanish journalist Rodra P, Tomas Parmo is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Merengues are scouring the Argentine market for highly-rated prodigies, with Franco Mastantuono being another target. The 16-year-old Club Atletico Independiente whizkid has now emerged on Los Blancos’ radar.
The rich history of Argentina’s youth revolution
The Argentine market has been producing world-class players for decades. The country has seen world-beaters like Diego Maradona, Mario Kempes, and Lionel Messi. The tradition has continued in the 2020s, with the emergence of Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, and Valentin Barco.
Two 16-year-old prospects have taken age-group football by storm in the last 12 months, with high-profile clubs in Europe setting their sights on them. One of them is Franco Mastantuono, who has captured the attention of La Liga heavyweights like Barcelona and Real Madrid, apart from many Premier League bigwigs.
The latest subject of interest from a well-known European heavyweight is Tomas Parmo. The 16-year-old is a native of Buenos Aires and currently represents Club Atletico Independiente. An attacking midfielder by trade, the Argentine wonderkid is renowned for his vision and ability to make ghosting runs and contribute in the final third by finding the back of the net.
Tomas Parmo to Real Madrid?
Like Mastantuono, Parmo has piqued the interest of Real Madrid, with Los Blancos keeping tabs on the youngster’s progress in Argentina. The Merengues are renowned for constantly scouring the South American market for highly-rated prodigies and have a rich history of grooming such players into world-class players.
The current squad has top-notch stars like Federico Valverde, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo. In addition, Endrick will arrive from Palmeiras in the summer transfer window, with pundits touting him as a long-term solution in the final third. Meanwhile, Franco Mastantuono is a target for Real Madrid. The Merengues are now keeping tabs on Parmo.
The 16-year-old Club Atletico Independiente is going from strength to strength at the Argentine club. And it will not be interesting to see Real Madrid launching the offensive to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2026.
