The Club Deportivo Herbania has announced the signing of its young talent Alonso Urquía by Real Madrid. The 12-year-old player has been one of the great revelations from the majorero youth academy.
The grassroots football scene in Fuerteventura is celebrating once again. Alonso Urquía, one of the gems from the CD Herbania academy, has signed with Real Madrid, as confirmed by the majorero club in a statement.
The young footballer, who has been with the Herbania youth teams since the beginning, has stood out for his technical quality and game vision. His progress has been constant, which has attracted the interest of the white club.
A leap to elite football
Alonso Urquía will join the Real Madrid academy, where he will continue his training in one of the most demanding environments in world football. The 12-year-old has already worn the shirt of the Canary Islands U-12 team in the Spanish Autonomous Teams Championship.
CD Herbania has expressed pride in this new milestone. "This is news that fills the entire herbanista family with joy," club sources state. "Alonso is an example that hard work and dedication pay off."
Pride for the island of Fuerteventura
The signing of Alonso Urquía represents recognition of the youth development work being done on the island. This is not the first time a player trained at CD Herbania has made the leap to a big club; the club has been a breeding ground for talent in recent years.
For young footballers in Fuerteventura, this news is an incentive. "Seeing one of ours reach Real Madrid shows that there is talent here too," say representatives from the Herbania School. "We hope Alonso continues to grow and enjoy football."
The player has already said goodbye to his teammates and coaches, and in the coming days he will join the dynamics of the Madrid team. CD Herbania has wished him "the greatest success" in his new chapter.
