According to AS, Real Madrid has signed a young talent from Atlético Madrid's youth academy, continuing a trend of player movement between the youth academies of the two capital giants in recent years.

The 20-year-old winger Jorge Rajado posted a photo of himself wearing a Real Madrid shirt on his social media account, a clear signal that his transfer to Real Madrid is complete. Just days earlier, Atlético Madrid had officially announced his departure.

Spanish newspaper AS previously reported that Real Madrid acted quickly after Rajado terminated his contract with Atlético, officially leaving the club after 11 years and joining their fierce rivals.

Rajado's farewell message confirmed the end of his Atlético career, as he wrote: "It's time to say goodbye to Atlético Madrid."

He continued: "It's hard to describe what I feel because I came here as a child and practically grew up at this club. A very important part of my life was spent here, and I'm taking many things and memories with me."

He then wrote: "I experienced many good moments and some not so good, but I learned from each one. What matters most to me are the people I met over the years, including teammates, coaches, and everyone who was with me daily."

Rajado also thanked everyone who helped and believed in him throughout his career, saying: "It's not easy to leave a place that's been with me for 11 years, but I'm also very proud to have worn this shirt and represented these colors."

He concluded: "Thank you for everything you've given me over the years. I'm leaving with many memories and, most importantly, I'll also remember many people I'll never forget."

Last season, Rajado made 16 appearances for Atlético Madrid's C team, scoring 4 goals. He also performed well in the UEFA Youth League, scoring 1 goal and converting a crucial penalty.

Rajado's transfer marks another player moving between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid's youth academies. The two clubs ended their gentlemen's agreement in 2022.
