Madrid Clinches a Surprise Snare: Real Madrid Signs Sevilla's Rising Star Siria
26 January 2026
Madrid lands Sevilla's rising star
Real Madrid confirmed the signing of Alexis Siria, one of Sevilla's brightest youngsters, who will begin his Madrid journey with the Juvenil A squad at La Fabrica, with a possible appearance for Madrid C.
Future-oriented deal
The transfer is permanent, with the fee linked to Syria's progression. The more he climbs—into Castilla or the first team—the more Sevilla will earn back as a result of the deal.
According to AS, Syria should be a meaningful addition for coach Alvaro López, joining other recent acquisitions like Guille Gonzalez from Cadiz and Iker Doblas, who has already begun training at Valdebebas.
Madrid is monitoring his development with Madrid C as two other prospects, Arno and Manix Rezola, stand out on the same path.
Born in Bakithi, Siria came through Sevilla's academy and is described as a right winger capable of playing on both flanks and also as a forward.
In November 2024, at 16, he trained with Sevilla's first team and later became a regular for Sevilla Atlético. This season, he has yet to score in 438 minutes, but Madrid still believes in his goal-scoring potential.
His contract with Sevilla, extended to 2027, reportedly stalled due to a lack of agreement, clearing the way for Madrid to step in ahead of summer. The plan is to use the remaining six months of the season as an acclimatization period, hastening his rise to the second team and possibly the first.
Alexis Siria expressed great happiness about moving to Real Madrid, saying: "Very happy to have reached an agreement with the best club in the world and sign my first professional contract."
Punchline 1: If this trajectory continues, Madrid's trophy cabinet might need a bigger elevator.
Punchline 2: And if not, La Fabrica’s coffee will surely be to blame for any delay.
