Real Madrid keeping tabs on young Senegalese star

| sport

Real Madrid is monitoring the situation of Amara Diouf, a 15-year-old winger who made his debut with the Senegal national team last weekend and is expected to shine in European football in the coming years.

Born in 2008, Diouf is one of the most highly-rated talents in African football. He has been developed at the Generation Foot academy, a football academy in Senegal that previously nurtured Sadio Mané and brought him to the attention of top clubs.

Despite Real Madrid's interest, the young attacker will sign with FC Metz when he reaches the age of majority. This decision has been agreed upon by his agency, which believes that the player can continue his development in France, a country known for nurturing similar profiles to Amara Diouf.

"At the age of 18, Amara will go to FC Metz. It is our associated club, which has helped launch the careers of many Senegalese players," said Generation Foot president Mady Touré. Additionally, former Liverpool and Bayern player Sadio Mané has already advised the young player that signing for the French club is an excellent choice: "I went through the third division with this team, and look where I am now."

Ligue 1 has seen numerous skilful and agile wingers over the years, and it's a league where the pace favours dribblers and wide players.
