Young Talent: Atlético Looks to the Future in Valencia
Attention, Atléticos! The Rojiblancos’ management continues to bet heavily on the future, and this time they have set their sights on Valencia’s prolific youth academy. After flirting with emerging figures in the past, Atlético de Madrid has decided to bring forward its bet and seek even younger talent in the ché academy.
On the Colchonero radar is Javi Tena, a promising midfielder born in 2008. Despite his youth, this first-year youth player has proven his worth playing in the Juvenil A and standing out as a Spanish U-16 international.
With a contract until 2026, Tena and his environment look favorably on a change of scenery, and Atlético is emerging as the ideal destination, even willing to make an investment to secure his incorporation. But the Rojiblanca ambition does not stop there.
Another name that resonates strongly is that of Diego Piqueras, the talented starting goalkeeper of the Spanish U-16 team. At just 15 years old, Piqueras represents a unique opportunity for Atlético, since as he does not yet have a professional contract, his signing could be done without the need to negotiate with Valencia. Undoubtedly, two young promises that excite the fans and demonstrate the club’s commitment to the training of new talents. The future of Atlético is underway!
