Yeremaiah Ramos, a young striker, has made the decision to quit the Colchoneros in order to join La Fabrica. This decision has caused the battle between the youth squads of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid to become more intense.
As stated by Diario AS, this transfer is a part of Real Madrid’s continuous attempts to enhance their young team and fight Atletico’s supremacy in the youth division. Real Madrid is known for its commitment to youth development.
It has been reported that Real Madrid is making progress with its Valdebebas initiative, which entails the recruitment of excellent players, including those from competing teams such as Atletico Madrid.
Ramos, a striker who excelled in Atletico’s development program, is one of the outstanding players that the club has acquired. With an incredible 33 goals scored in the previous season, Ramos, who was an integral part of Atletico’s 2009 generation, did not disappoint.
The Real Madrid club uses Atletico Madrid as a hunting field.
It is interesting to note that Real Madrid has shown interest in Atletico Madrid’s talent pool for the third summer in a row. Beginning in 2022, a long-standing non-aggression agreement between the clubs was broken when Jesus Fortea was signed by the club. This was the beginning of everything. The previous year, they followed this pattern by recruiting Ariel Nkoghe to join the team.
Nkoghe and Ramos, who is known by the nickname “Yere,” have a history that is comparable to one another. Despite the fact that Ramos was born in Guadalajara, Spain, he has origins in Equatorial Guinea. He is the nephew of Pedro Obiang, a midfielder for Sassuolo who also played for Atletico in his younger years.
Real Madrid has already secured the signatures of at least two more players from Atletico’s 7-a-side football teams for the 2023-24 season, indicating that their aggressive recruiting efforts are only the beginning of their recruitment efforts going forward.
In addition, Sergio Mestre, a goalkeeper who formerly played for Atletico Madrid B, has been brought in to join Real Madrid C, but with a restricted amount of playing time.
Ramos has been a member of Real Madrid’s youth team before.
The outstanding performance that Ramos shown during the season won him a position on the national U15 squad of Spain in the month of May. During this call-up, he played with a number of players who would later become colleagues at Real Madrid.
Jairo Morilla and Santiago del Pino are two of the members of this group of athletes, and both of them are going to be joining the junior program of Real Madrid.
On the other hand, this tactical maneuver by Real Madrid is seen as a key step in the direction of strengthening their young ranks and competing with Atletico’s recent achievements.
Real Madrid’s goal is to construct a powerful youth squad that is capable of competing at the highest levels by recruiting young players of exceptional skill such as Ramos and others.
As both teams continue to compete with one another for the position of being the best at fostering the next generation of football players, the competition between the two clubs is expected to get even more intense.
