La Liga champions Real Madrid are reportedly tracking the progress of 18-year-old prodigy Marciano Sanca at La Liga club, Almeria.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Marciano Sanca has popped up on the radar of Real Madrid. The Merengues have had scouts present at Almeria B games to monitor the 18-year-old attacking sensation, dubbed the “new Leao” due to his physique and playing style.
Marciano Sanca has made rapid progress since moving to Spain. The Guinea-Bissau wonderkid joined Almeria from Portuguese outfit Leixoes. And he has gone from strength to strength in the Spanish club’s reserve team. The youngster currently plies his trade in the third division of Spanish football.
But the 18-year-old attacking sensation is making waves for Almeria B and might soon earn a promotion to the first team. At the same time, Sanca has drawn comparisons with a certain Rafael Leao. And his progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of La Liga champions Real Madrid.
The Merengues are renowned for constantly searching for the brightest young prospects. Florentino Perez has been adamant about poaching the most prodigious young players and bringing them to Real Madrid. And such an outlook has done wonders for Los Blancos in the last few years.
The reigning La Liga champions have ensured smooth progression from one generation to another. And Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde, and Rodrygo Goes are some of the success stories of this viewpoint by Real Madrid. The Merengues also continue showing interest in several prodigies, including Simone Pafundi, Endrick, Vitor Roque, Julien Duranville, and many others.
Marciano Sanca is the latest prodigious attacker to emerge on Real Madrid’s radar. And he is dubbed the “new Leao” due to his physique and playing style. The 18-year-old attacking sensation can play across the frontline and might be an option to succeed Karim Benzema. Meanwhile, Leao is also a target for Real Madrid.
It will be interesting to see if Leao and the “new Leao” both become top targets for Real Madrid in the coming weeks and months. For now, Marciano Sanca has emerged on Real Madrid’s radar, with their scouts submitting positive reports on him.
