Real Madrid January signing spotted training with first-team ahead of Salzburg clash | OneFootball

A newly acquired member of the youth ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid was on Monday spotted training with Carlo Ancelotti’s senior squad.

The player in question? Lamini Fati.

For those not familiar with his name, Fati is an 18-year-old central defender, who made the move to Real earlier this month, from La Liga rivals Leganés.

The youngster, long held in high regard across the Spanish football landscape, has linked up with Los Blancos’ U19 outfit.

And, as alluded to above, Fati, evidently, has impressed across his early training sessions at Valdebebas.

This comes amid confirmation that the stopper was on Monday called up to train with Real Madrid’s star-studded first-team, under the watch of Carlo Ancelotti.

As much comes ahead of Los Merengues’ Champions League showdown with RB Salzburg on Wednesday evening.

Lamini, for his part, will no doubt be eager to make the most of his time on the senior stage, learning from the likes of Antonio Rüdiger, Raúl Asencio and the recently returned David Alaba.
