Real Madrid aim to sweep up the top talent at Under-17s World Cup with triple raid
REAL MADRID are ready to plunder the top stars of the Under-17 World Cup – including the next Kylian Mbappe.
The Spanish giants are targeting France striker Aminen Gouiri, Brazil midfielder Alan and Spain winger Ferran Torres, according to marca.com.

And Real are determined to land some hot young talent of their own, especially as main man Cristiano Ronaldo is now 32 and PSG seem able and willing to outbid Europe’s traditional giants for established players.
Palmeiras starlet Alan has also impressed Real during the U-17 tournament in India.
His agent Juan Figer reportedly met Real chiefs at their Bernabeu stadium in the spring as the first tentative step towards making an offer to Alan’s Brazilian club.

Valencia’s Torres is the most obvious target for Zinedine Zidane’s men.
And his club are said to have lined him for his La Liga debut when he returns from the cup.
Valencia’s main hoipe this season will be to tie Torres to a long deal.
His current release clause is only thought to be around £7.1m.
