Real Madrid have moved quickly to tie down the services of 16-year-old defender David de la Víbora by handing the teenager a professional contract.

De la Víbora currently plays for the under-16s and is regarded as the brightest talent to emerge from Madrid's fabled La Fábrica in some time. Despite his age, De la Víbora had already received offers from Juventus, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and PSG.

The youth defender was born in Móstoles in the south of Madrid, as was former club captain Iker Casillas, and is represented by the Stellar Group, which recently opened an office in Madrid and counts Gareth Bale among its clients.
