With Marcelo’s recent retirement, all eyes are now on his son, Enzo, who continues to shine in the Real Madrid youth academy.
The football world, particularly Real Madrid fans, is mourning the retirement of one of the club’s greatest left-backs. “Marcelo is one of the greatest left-backs in Real Madrid and world football history, and we’ve had the privilege of enjoying him for a long time. He is one of our greatest legends, and Real Madrid is and will always be his home,” said club president Florentino Pérez after the announcement. However, there is good news for Madridistas: Marcelo’s son, Enzo, is the club’s next big hope.
Enzo Alves: Real Madrid’s Next Star
Enzo is progressing rapidly through ‘La Fábrica,’ Madrid’s renowned youth system, and he is making waves with his extraordinary talent. In Valdebebas, the club has complete faith in Marcelo’s eldest son. Enzo is one of the brightest forward prospects in the academy right now. It is expected that next season, he will make the jump to the youth category, possibly moving up to ‘C’ or even ‘B’ if he continues to impress. Madrid is in awe of his goals, evolution, and performances every weekend.
Enzo Alves joined ‘La Fábrica’ at the Benjamín level, and his progress has been nothing short of impressive. In fact, he has already been called up to the Spain U-15 national team, highlighting his potential on the international stage. Real Madrid sees a bright future ahead for him, with skills that continue to improve each season. Even though Marcelo has retired, Enzo is ready to take up the mantle and continue the legacy his father started.
Debut and Future Prospects
It’s worth noting that Enzo made his debut for the Real Madrid Juvenil B team this season, specifically on September 16, when he played the final 10 minutes of the match. This was his first appearance at the Juvenil level, and he is expected to make this category a regular fixture next season.
Enzo is likely to have a youth contract starting next summer, marking another step toward potentially joining the first team in the future. Madridistas can rest easy: Enzo is ready to continue his father’s legacy. “Following Marcelo’s announcement of his retirement, Real Madrid C. F. wants to express its gratitude and affection,” read the club’s statement.
