Gerardo Bruna has already been dubbed the "Messi of Madrid", the
former Real Madrid youth player now making his way to
Anfield...
Liverpool have completed the signing of Real Madrid youngster
Gerardo Bruna.
The 16 year old, of Argentinean extraction, will join up with the
Anfield side's youth teams after being earmarked as the next Lionel
Messi.
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez (pictured) himself has apparently given
his approval to the signing, citing the youngster as a long-term
investment.
This isn't the first time that an English club has sought young
talent in Spain. One need only remember Francesc Fabregas, who was
brought to Arsenal as a teenager from the Barcelona youth ranks, as
was Fran Merida last year.
Gerard Pique, too, was brought to England by Manchester United from
Barcelona, albeit to return to Spain on loan last season.
For now, though, all eyes are on Bruna, a player of considerable
renown back in Madrid, despite his tender years.
Gerardo Bruna Blanco, born on 29th January 1991, is not considered
anywhere near ready for league football, but is rather seen as one
for the future. Perhaps, even, the not-too-distant
future...
