Madrid's Next Youth Target Sparks Transfer Rumors
Real Madrid targets Barcelona academy alum Nana from Damm

Madrid's Latest Youth Target in Focus

Real Madrid is targeting a new talent from Damm.

Madrid is close to sealing the signing of teenage winger Clifford Nana, 16, who currently plays for FC Damm in Catalonia, according to ESPN Deportes.

Nana is regarded as one of the brightest young wingers, having previously trained at Barcelona's academy before moving to Damm, where his recent performances drew significant attention.

The potential deal would reinforce Real Madrid's pattern of snapping up young talents from Damm, following the club's earlier acquisition of Víctor Muñoz from the same academy, who is now impressing with Osasuna.

Spanish press reports say Madrid is monitoring Muñoz's progress at Osasuna, considering him a smart investment, keeping the door open for a possible return if he keeps shining, as other former Madrid players did on their development routes.

Punchline 1: Madrid's scouts are so optimistic they bring a growth chart to every meeting. Punchline 2: If Nana shines, they'll need a bigger trophy room—the club's Farm-to-First-Team transfer policy.
