Vinicius and Rodrygo turned out to be jackpot deals. They are constantly progressing and hinting at the bright future of Real Madrid, and after former Flamengo’s and Santos’ players, as well as Peñarol’s Valverde, the Royal Club scout Juni Calafat targeted another super-talented teenager who could soon be in Santiago Bernabeu.They are after the youngest debutant in the history of Botafogo – the 18-year-old striker Matheus Nascimento.Sat 00:55: (2.90) Rosario (3.10) Gimnasia LP (2.60)According to the respected AS, the Madridians have been following the guy who made his first appearance for the black and whites from Rio de Janeiro at the age of only 16, six months and three days, and this summer they could take a concrete step towards his engagement. The idea is for the young footballer to first go through a period of adaptation to the new environment playing for the B team, under the supervision of former A team captain Raul.Working under the former goal scorer would be of great importance for Matheus, because he is also a striker. Although 184 centimeters tall and not very musclular, the Spaniards write that he is a player who copes well with the opposing defenders both on the grass and in the air. As a Brazilian, the technique is in his blood, and that he has the potential is confirmed by over 150 goals for the younger categories of Botafogo. For the first team, he scored eight times in 37 appearances.Real Madrid are continuing to keep a keen eye on the market for talented young players with a particular emphasis on Brazil. According to @diarioas, the latest youngster from South America’s largest nation to attract their attention is Matheus Nascimento. pic.twitter.com/W2WruVxXWu— Football España (@footballespana_) June 24, 2022 The problem with Matheus’ transfer could be the buyout clause that the Brazilian club put in the contract when signing the first professional contract with the young player, in the summer of 2020. It amounts to as much as 50 million euros, but as Matheus enters the last year of the contract, Botafogo should not insist on such a figure. It is certain that, however, the compensation will not be small because the club from Rio has only 60 percent of the contract, while 30 percent goes to the player (read to his agents), and 10 percent to the local football school where he grew up.It seems that they turned the tables in Madrid and started to pay much more attention to young players who are expected to be the backbone of the first team. Veterans Benzema, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro, Alaba, Nacho are still incredibly important in Ancelotti’s team… But time works in favour of Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Militao, Camavinga, Tchouameni…
