Castillo: The 'Colchonero' Talent Who Spurned Real Madrid
Atlético de Madrid’s youth academy continues to bring joy, and Jorge Castillo’s recent debut with the reserve team is further proof of this. At just 18 years old, this promising midfielder has already generated great expectations at the club.
His recent renewal until 2028 demonstrates the confidence that Atlético places in his talent.
Castillo, formed in the Academy since the age of five, has shown his commitment and love for the ‘rojiblancos’ colors by rejecting offers from other clubs, even Real Madrid! This young player, born in Majadahonda, has been a fundamental piece in the ‘Juvenil A’, where he has stood out for his creativity and goal-scoring ability.
His performance has not gone unnoticed by Simeone, who has already called him up for training with the first team. In addition, Castillo is an Under-19 international, which further underlines his potential. With his vision of the game and skills, Castillo is shaping up to be one of the future references of the ‘colchonero’ midfield, following in the footsteps of emblematic players. We are eager to see him shine at the Metropolitano!
