Jorge Castillo: A Rojiblanco Talent on the Rise
Atlético de Madrid’s Academy continues to bear fruit, and Jorge Castillo is the latest jewel to shine. The young midfielder, just 18 years old, has already debuted with Atleti B and aims high.
Trained in the youth academy since 2011, Castillo has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to the rojiblancos colors, even rejecting offers from other clubs, including Real Madrid. His recent renewal until 2028 is a sign of the confidence the club places in his potential.
Castillo performs as a talented organizer, with great game vision and a tireless work ethic. This season he has been fundamental in the youth A team, playing 35 games, 30 as a starter, including 8 games in the Youth League where he wore the captain’s armband.
In addition, he has contributed with six goals, five in the League and one in Europe. His debut in Primera RFEF, at the hands of Fernando Torres, has been a reward for his dedication and effort.
His growth is being closely monitored in the Academy, following in the footsteps of other young talents who have also debuted this season. Without a doubt, Jorge Castillo is a safe bet for the future of Atlético de Madrid, a player with the rojiblanco DNA who promises to give many joys to the fans at the Metropolitano.
