Madrid leading race for promising teenage striker - he was trained at Barcelona

Real Madrid are leading the race for Iker Bravo, according to Diario AS.

The 17-year-old is beyond excited to join Real Madrid, sources say, even though Atletico Madrid are also interested.

Bravo started his career in Barcelona's La Masia before making the move to Germany where he joined Bayer Leverkusen.

The Spaniard is fleet-footed, skilful and said to be deadly in front of goal. However, he's yet to make an appearance for Leverkusen's senior team.

If Real Madrid signs Bravo, they are more likely to draft him into their Castilla squad.
