Confirmed: Real Madrid sign former Atletico Madrid academy winger

Confirmed: Real Madrid sign former Atletico Madrid academy winger Real Madrid have signed Jorge Rajado after the winger had terminated his contract with Atletico Madrid. After spending a decade in the Colchoneros’ academy, Rajado has now made the move to La Fabrica , with Real Madrid having monitored him for some time . The 20-year-old has already shown off his new club colours on social media. From Atletico C to Real Madrid C Rajado will be registered with Real Madrid C, although the Merengues intend for him to also play for Castilla during the season.

That will be Rajado’s starting level with Real Madrid C, but he already has experience of Primera Federacion , having played for the Atleti reserves under Fernando Torres a couple of seasons ago. As such, he could step up to Castilla when required. Rajado has also represented the Spanish national team at the Under-17 and Under-18 level. His arrival gives Real Madrid another promising attacking option within their academy structure.

The flow has worked in both directions, with Alvaro Vega being an example of a player leaving Real Madrid’s youth setup for their cross-town rivals. The reverse movement has continued as well. Last weekend, Torres handed a debut to Álvaro Vega , a 16-year-old winger who joined Atlético’s academy this summer from Valdebebas. For Rajado, the move represents a fresh start after ten years in Atlético’s academy, with the opportunity to establish himself at Real Madrid C while also catching the eye at Castilla.
