According to AS, Real Madrid has signed Gabriel Suarez Castrelo, one of Atletico Madrid’s most promising young players, after his contract with the city rivals expired on June 30, 2025.
The excellent Spanish midfielder, who will be 19 in August, has officially joined Real Madrid.
He is set to play for their U19 A team, but if he performs, he might be promoted to Real Madrid C or perhaps Alvaro Arbeloa’s Castilla squad.
Who is Suarez Castrelo?
Suarez Castrelo was regarded as one of the most promising talents to emerge from Atletico’s academy in recent years.
Signed from Sporting de Gijon in 2021, he immediately progressed through the ranks, making a name for himself via his outstanding performances and dedication.
Prior to his suspension, he has eight goals in 21 matches in the Division de Honor and the UEFA Youth League combined.

However, he has not played a single match since December after refusing to renew his contract, forcing Atletico to leave him out for the rest of the season.
Breaking the non-aggression pact
Atletico Madrid considers Suarez Castrelo’s departure a significant loss, citing his talent and steady improvement within their academy. His decision to quit shows the ongoing disagreements between the two teams.
Since Real Madrid terminated their long-standing non-aggression deal with Atletico, several young players, including Yeremaiah Ramos, have switched from red and white to white in recent summers.
Suarez Castrelo is the most recent addition to this list, but he won’t be the last, as Real Madrid continues to bolster their junior teams with outstanding talent from around Spain, including their fiercest rivals.
This deal demonstrates Real Madrid’s clear objective of developing youthful talent for the future. With Suaárez Castrelo’s talent and potential, he might quickly progress through the ranks and become a prominent player for Valdebebas.
