Real Madrid's youth academy is a showcase for exporting talent to other major leagues when its first team squad does not have the space to welcome it. One of the cases this season is that of Alex Jimenez, who is on loan at Milan, with whom he is alternating his performances with the Primavera -the Under 19s- and the first team -5 appearances, 2 as a starter-. The defender has been so well liked that the club's board have signed him on a long-term contract.
This is reported by 'Sky Sport Italia'. The details are as follows: the 'Rossoneri' will pay a little less than 5 million euros, the figure with which the option to buy his loan to Italy had been labelled, in exchange for Madrid's board keeping the possibility of buying him back for a much higher price than what the Serie A side will pay for him.
