Stretty News exclusively reported that Man
United are looking to sign Mexican wonderkid
Luka Romero from Real Mallorca, and this is
a particularly interesting one.
He’s only 15 so automatically most fans
will assume he’ll arrive and disappear into
the youth system, but Stretty indicate that
he’s expected to break into the Mallorca
first team next season.
That gives you an indication that he’s already
at a very high level for someone so young,
and it explains why there’s so much interest.
They go on to point out that teams like Barcelona
and Juventus are also heavily interested,
but United do have the better track record
recently when it comes to giving chances to
younger players.
The report also states that United have actually
made contact with his representatives in a
bid to secure his signature, so they must
be hopeful of getting the deal done.
Because he’s so young it’s virtually impossible
to tell what type of player he would be, he’s
described as an exciting attacking midfielder,
while Marca recently described him as “the
Mexican Messi” although that might be unhelpful
for the youngster.
There’s no indication over what the future
holds for him just now, but he’s clearly
talented and will hopefully go on to star
in the coming years.
