Liverpool have beaten Real Madrid and Barcelona to the signature of Cadiz teenager Jesus Fernandez Saez, according to reports in Spain.
The 16-year-old, nicknamed Suso, will sign a five-year contract with The Reds.
After several months tracking the midfielder, Rafa Benitez made his move, with neither of the Spanish giants Real Madrid nor Barcelona able to be as persuasive as The Reds.
Cadiz will be paid compensation and, although a figure has not been specified, it is believed to be more than the payment due to the Spanish team to take over the player’s academy contract.
setanta.
Gratz ..
No point buying Spanish youth players lah... Cos if they make it in the next 5 or 7 yrs down the road, they will demand to 'go back' to Barce or Real...
All that time putting in training them end up wasting only... If they don't make it... hahahaha... released for free...
