At the Valdebebas facility, where Real Madrid prepared for their first La Liga game of the season today, there was a surprising presence in the training session. The game was scheduled to take place today.
In point of fact, Illia Voloshyn, a goalkeeping prodigy who is just 17 years old, was called up to practice with the senior team for the very first time, as reported by the journalist Rodra.
In January of this year, Voloshyn made the move from Rayo Majadahonda to Real Madrid, where he has been playing since then. Each and every member of the club holds the young goalkeeper in very high esteem.
Although Los Blancos had previously established an agreement to sign him from Majadahonda before to the beginning of the previous year, they were had to wait until January for FIFA to provide their approval for the move.
It is reported that the young goalie is in “spectacular” physical condition for someone who is just 17 years old, and that he is extraordinary when it comes to his ability to control the ball with his feet.
Real Madrid already has a young goalkeeper who is a diamond in the making in the form of Fran Gonzalez, who is expected to have a prosperous career with the club.
Now, the Merengues have acquired another fascinating goalkeeping potential to La Fabrica in Voloshyn. This player is already being exposed to first-team training, despite the fact that it is very improbable that he will be a member of the group straight away.
Additionally, Real Madrid first-team manager Carlo Ancelotti had a few additional young players from the youth and reserve teams participating in training today. Voloshyn was one of the players that participated.
Additionally, another goalie named Diego Pineiro was called up for training, along with Nico Paz and Jacobo Ramon, who has already been registered with La Liga for the next season. Ramon was also called up for training.
During the opening La Liga match of the season, Real Madrid will travel to Son Moix to play RCD Mallorca. This match will take place on Sunday night.
