Real Madrid have added another promising young talent to their academy with the signing of 16-year-old Beltran Capote, claims a report from Mundo Deportivo.

Capote is known for his versatility. He can play both as a midfielder and as a striker, making him a valuable addition to Los Blancos’ youth ranks.

Last season, he impressed with Málaga’s U19 A team, scoring 13 goals in 29 matches. He also gained experience playing in the National League with the club’s U19 squad, showing his ability to perform at a competitive level despite his young age.

Madrid continue their youth project

Beltran Capote started his football journey at CD Rincon before moving to Malaga’s academy, where he continued to develop into one of Andalusia’s top young talents.

His performances caught the attention of Real Madrid scouts, leading to his signing this summer.

The teenager officially signed his contract at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training facilities, where he was joined by his family. After putting pen to paper, Capote toured the club’s facilities and visited what will now be his new home.

This move is part of Real Madrid’s continued focus on strengthening their youth system. The club has already brought in several young players this summer, while some others have left to pursue first-team opportunities elsewhere.

Castilla players have attracted offers from both Spain and abroad, with names like Jacobo Ramon linked to a potential move to Como in Italy.

For Real Madrid, developing young talent remains a key part of the club’s long-term strategy. Capote’s signing shows the club’s commitment to building for the future, ensuring that the next generation of stars is ready to shine at the highest level.
