According to Madrid source Anton Meana, no fewer than seven Atletico Madrid youth players have offered themselves to Real Madrid after learning that Los Blancos have broken their non-aggression pact with Atleti.
Now, Atletico believes Real Madrid broke the pact due to jealousy over the quality of young players being groomed at the Wanda Metropolitano, Meana reports.
It's hard to understand their narrative though. Real Madrid are by far the most successful team in Europe and of course in Spain, with the best youngsters to show.
Real Madrid Castilla is also brimming with immense quality with some of those players rearing to go with the first team.
The player Real Madrid are eyeing to sign from Atletico is Jesus Fortea, a promising right-back, but he's not really a priority now and talks have stalled.
