Madrid's academy has produced a lot of talented stars over the years, although the crop of players used by Mourinho had some mixed success. We've revisited the 16 Real Madrid kids given debuts by Jose Mourinho to see how they subsequently fared.

Antonio Adan:

Adan became a pawn in Mourinho's war with Iker Casillas, making 18 first-team appearances for Madrid in all competitions.

The goalkeeper had his contract terminated shortly after Mourinho's departure in 2013 and signed a deal with Cagliari.

He returned to the Spanish capital five years later, serving as Jan Oblak's deputy at Atletico Madrid, before moving to Sporting Lisbon and helping deliver their first league title in 19 years.

Nacho Fernandez:

After impressing for the reserve team, Nacho was promoted to the senior squad towards the end of Mourinho's first season in charge.

The versatile defender has now made 275 appearances for Madrid, winning three La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey and five Champions League titles. Not bad going. He is one pf the most successful among the 16 Real Madrid kids given debut by Jose Mourinho.

Pablo Sarabia:

Sarabia came on as a substitute for the last 18 minutes of a 4-0 Champions League victory over Auxerre in December 2010 but never featured for the club domestically.

The Spaniard made 232 La Liga appearances for Getafe and Sevilla before joining PSG in 2019. Last season he was out on loan at Sporting, where he played alongside Adan, and he could well move away from Paris on a permanent deal this summer.

Alvaro Morata:

Morata made 18 first-team appearances over the course of Mourinho's three-year stint in charge and remained in touch with his former boss.

"I have a good relationship with Jose," Morata told the Daily Mail in 2017. "He was my first coach in professional football and he gave me the chance to be a professional.

"He made me the first contact. Sometimes we send messages, not speaking about football, asking if everything's OK and sending some jokes."

The striker was sold to Juventus by Carlo Ancelotti in 2014, but Madrid exercised their buy-back clause two years later.

He was on the move again 12 months later, joining Chelsea before moving back to boyhood club Atletico. The striker spent the last two seasons out on loan at Juventus but it looks as though he'll be reintegrated into Diego Simeone's squad for the upcoming 2022-23 campaign.

Juan Carlos:

No, not the former King of Spain. This Juan Carlos made his Madrid debut as a substitute for Angel Di Maria in the closing stages of a a 6–1 La Liga home rout of Deportivo de La Coruna in 2010.

That proved to be his one and only appearance for Los Blancos before he was sold to Braga in 2011.

He never played for the Portuguese club, instead spending time on loan at Zaragoza, Real Betis and Granada before making a permanent switch to Malaga in 2017. Nowadays he's turning out for Panathinaikos.

Tomas Mejias:

Meijas came on as a late substitute in Madrid's 4–0 win over Getafe in May 2011 and was never able to add to that one game in white.

Former Madrid defender Aitor Karanka took him to Middlesbrough when managing the English club in 2014, but he failed to establish himself as their first-choice goalkeeper.

The 33-year-old was most recently seen between the sticks for Western Sydney Wanderers but is currently without a club.

David Mateos:

Meteos was highly rated by Mourinho and made his first-team debut against Ajax in the Champions League in November 2010.

He followed that up with a start against Levante in the Copa del Rey six weeks later before becoming a bit of a world traveller.

The centre-back has since had spells in Hungary and America, no fewer than three Israeli clubs, the wonderfully-named The Strongest of Bolivia and most recently Guangxi Pingguo Haliao, who play in the Chinese lower leagues. Look up "journeyman" in any good footballing encyclopedia and you'll see a picture of David Mateos.

Jorge Casado:

Casado made his official debut in December 2011, playing 70 minutes in a 5–1 home win against SD Ponferradina in the Copa del Rey.

No more senior games would follow, and the left-back dropped down to the Segunda division with Real Betis in 2014.

In 2017, he made a move to Greek side Xanthi, before moving back to Madrid to turn out for lower-league outfit Rayo Majadahonda.

Jose Callejon:

A product of Real Madrid's academy, Callejon had to wait until his second spell at the club before making his first-team debut under Mourinho, having spent three years at Espanol before returning to the Bernabeu in 2011.

The winger helped Mourinho win the La Liga title in 2011-12 before joining Napoli shortly after the manager's departure in 2013.

He has spent the last nine years in Italy, moving to Fiorentina in 2020, scoring 65 goals in 305 Serie A appearances.

Jese Rodriguez:

Jese was just 18 when he made his debut against SD Ponferradina in December 2011 and was tipped for a bright future at the Bernabeu.

After falling down the pecking order at Madrid, the winger joined PSG in 2016 but has only made 16 appearances for the French side to date.

After underwhelming loan spells in Spain and England, he's recently joined Turkish outfit Ankaragucu. Of course he has.

We're starting to doubt anything in Jese's football career will doubt the time he paid €5000 in text messages to help eliminate his ex from the Spanish version of Big Brother.

Fernando Pacheco:

Pacheco made his debut in the 2011-12 Copa Del Rey but had to wait another three years before making his second Madrid appearance.

The goalkeeper may not have made the grade in Madrid, but he has still made over 200 La Liga appearances for Alaves

Jose Rodriguez:

Not to be confused with Jese Rodriguez, the midfielder marked his debut under Mourinho with a bang as he came off the bench to score in a 4-1 Copa del Rey victory over CD Alcoyano in October 2012.

Two months later, he became the youngest Real Madrid player to appear in the Champions League as he replaced Kaka in a group stage victory over Ajax.

But the Spain youth international made just four appearances in total for the club and is now without a club, after a nomadic career that's seen him represent Maccabi Haifa, Malaga, Fuenlabrada, Mainz, Fortuna Sittard, Galatasaray and Deportivo La Coruna. Phew. Keeping his agent busy, at least.

Denis Cheryshev:

Cheryshev played the first hour of Madrid's 3-0 Copa del Rey victory over Alcoyano in 2012 in what was his only appearance under Mourinho.

"Mourinho is not the person the press makes him out to be," Cheryshev told VM Daily in 2012.

"I know how he treats us, the younger players, and he does it with the utmost respect while making no distinction between any of us.

"The first time I spoke to him face-to-face my heart was pumping so much I thought it was going to come out of my chest."

Madrid were famously kicked out of the Copa del Rey in 2015 for playing Cheryshev when he was ineligible.

The winger now plays for Valencia, who he joined after impressing for Russia at the 2018 World Cup. We fell in love with him a little bit after signing him on Football Manager 2015.

Alex Fernandez:

"I remember every moment of that day," Fernandez told Berkshire Live in March 2020 when discussing his Madrid debut.

"When the coach said to me on the bench I was coming on I was very nervous, like a small child.

"But Mourinho talked to me and told me to be calm, do what I knew and everything was going to be okay. I played a few passes but I only played four or five minutes…not too much.

"What I remember most were the hugs from Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas and Xabi Alonso when the game ended, congratulating me on the debut. They are my heroes in football. After they game they hugged me and it was a special moment for me."

Omar Mascarell:

A nine-minute cameo off the bench in Mourinho's final match in charge of Real amounted to the full extent of Mascarell's first-team career at the Bernabeu.

The midfielder spent the following season on loan at Derby County in the Championship but has carved out a decent career in the Bundesliga, captaining Schalke before returning to Spain with Elche last year.

Diego Llorente:

The centre-back was handed his Real Madrid debut in Mourinho's final game in charge of the club but made just one more La Liga appearance for the club before spending seasons out on loan at Rayo Vallecano and Malaga.

Llorente flourished since joining Sociedad on a permanent deal in 2017, going on to join Leeds United after they came up in 2020. We're still scratching our heads as to whether the Spain international's any good or not, with any one match likely to provide plenty of evidence either way.

The younger brother of the previously mentioned Nacho, Fernandez played just twice for Real's first team before spells at Espanyol, Reading and Elche.

He has spent the last five years with Cadiz, helping the club get promoted in 2021 before keeping them up by the skin of their teeth last term.

That completes our list of 16 Real Madrid kids given debuts by Jose Mourinho. For more lists and articles, follow Sportz Point.

Whenever a new transfer window arrives, with more money coming into the game, we see more spending and expensive buys from clubs around the world. However, along with experienced and proven footballers, football clubs always tend to buy new, exciting teenage footballers, even before they become stars.

Today, in this article, we will list the 20 most expensive teenagers in football transfer history.

20 Most expensive teenagers in football transfer history

Please note that the fee is based on Transfermarkt's data and is accurate as of August 7, 2025.

20. Javier Saviola – River Plate to FC Barcelona – 2001 – €35.90m (Age 19)

Javier Saviola's transfer to FC Barcelona from River Plate was the record fee for any teenager till it was later broken by Wayne Rooney. After scoring 24 goals in 41 matches, besides his 11 assists for River Plate, while winning the Argentine league in consecutive years, Saviola became the star FC Barcelona were looking for.

However, the transfer did not work that well for both him and the club as he was loaned out many times and went to play for Real Madrid in future as well. Saviola was recently the assistant manager of the Barcelona U19 team as well.

19. Josko Gvardiol – Dinamo Zagreb to RB Leipzig – 2021 – €36.8m (Age 19)

A Croatian defensive prodigy, Gvardiol impressed with his versatility and speed by playing as a ball-playing centre-back and left-back. His performances for Dinamo Zagreb and Croatia’s national team stirred RB Leipzig to break their transfer record.

Along with skill, Josko Gvardiol's physical strength and tactical intelligence made Leipzig pay €36.8m for the defender in 2021.

Two years later, Leipzig sold Gavrdiol to Manchester City for a whopping €90.00m.

18. Wayne Rooney – Everton to Manchester United – 2004 – €37m (Age 18)

One of England’s greatest ever talents, Rooney was signed for a then-record fee for a teenager. His all-around attacking prowess, vision, and finishing skill justified the huge investment.

In the 2003/04 season for Everton, Rooney had already scored nine goals in the Premier League as a teenager, which made Sir Alex Ferguson sign the youngster for a record €37m.

Rooney became Manchester United’s all-time leading scorer with 253 goals in 559 official games, winning five Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy.

17. Luke Shaw – Southampton to Manchester United – 2014/15 – €37.5m (Age 18)

A highly rated left-back, Shaw was signed for his blend of strong defensive skills and speed. He was seen as the next big defender from England after John Terry, as he had done quite well at Southampton and England U-21s then.

Luke Shaw was bought by Manchester United in 2014 with a transfer fee of €37.5 million, making him one of the most expensive teenage footballers ever.

Despite serious injury setbacks, he has developed into a dependable member of United’s backline since then and continues to be a member of Ruben Amorim's team.

16. Yankuba Minteh – Newcastle United to Brighton – 2024 – €38.8m (Age 19)

A direct, pacey Gambian forward, Yankuba Minteh, earned his big move as Brighton always invests in young, aggressive talents to shape their Premier League competitiveness and future development.

Newcastle United were the first to sign him, but sent him on loan to Feyenoord, where he scored 11 goals and had five assists. Brighton then signed him permanently in the 2024/25 season, for €38.8m, making him one of the most expensive teenagers in football transfer history.

Last season, he had 12 goal contributions for Brighton in the Premier League.

In 2024, Sportz Point named Minteh among the top 10 future stars of the Premier League.

In case you missed the big news overnight... 😜 Yankuba Minteh is an Albion player! 💙🤍 pic.twitter.com/hA9HVaeHc6

15. Dejan Kulusevski – Atalanta to Juventus – 2019/20 – €39m (Age 19)

Dejan Kulusevski, the Swedish winger, scored 10 goals and assisted 9 times in Serie A in the 2019-20 season, leading Juventus to pay a premium to have him in the Winter transfer window.

Although he was brought to Turin with a €39m transfer fee from Atalanta BC, he was soon loaned out to Parma and Tottenham Hotspur. In 2023, he was eventually bought by Spurs with a transfer fee of €30.00 million.

14. Fabio Silva – Porto to Wolves – 2020/21 – €40m (Age 18)

Portuguese striker Fabio Silva came with impressive youth goal-scoring records for FC Porto U19 and the FC Porto team from the 2018-2020 season. Seeing his talent, Wolves paid a significant fee of €40m, hoping that his technical finishing and physicality would translate well into Premier League success.

However, he was soon loaned to various clubs. Last season, he joined the team after spending a season at UD Las Palmas on loan.

13. Vitor Roque – Athletico Paranaense to FC Barcelona – 2024 – €40m (Age 19)

Barcelona acquired Roque to bolster their attack during a rebuilding phase. Known for his goal instinct, technical skill, and agile movement, Roque had scored 21 goals in 45 games for the Brazilian club Paranaense to attract a €40m bid from the Catalan club.

However, after only 2 goals in 16 games for the Spanish, he was sent back on loan to Real Betis and eventually signed for Palmeiras last season.

12. Archie Gray – Leeds United to Tottenham Hotspur – 2024 – €41.25m (Age 19)

A promising English defensive midfielder, Archie Gray, made a high-profile resume after winning the U21 Euros and doing well for Leeds United.

This helped Tottenham sign him for €41.25m in 2024 as they continued to focus on developing young home-grown talent.

Archie played 28 Premier League and 11 Europa League games for Spurs in his first season at the club.

11. Jorrel Hato – Ajax to Chelsea – 2025 – €44.18m (Age 19)

Dutch defender Jorrel Hato, who came through Ajax’s ranks, secured a big move to Chelsea. With Enzo Maresca and Chelsea’s long-term strategic vision for rebuilding their defence, Hato was supposed to be the next big thing for the Blues.

The left-back has a knack for scoring and contributing to goals as well. He had eight goal contributions in the 2024/25 Eredivisie for Ajax.

10. Franco Mastantuono – River Plate to Real Madrid - 2025 - €45m (Age 18)

With a €45 million coming on 14th August 2025, Argentine U21 star Franco Mastantuono is all set to be the most expensive teenager in the football transfer window of the 2025/26 season.

The right-winger had a successful 2024/25 season with River Plate, scoring seven times in 22 games along with four assists, which led him to make his senior debut for Argentina as well.

9. Vinicius Jr. – Flamengo to Real Madrid – 2018 – €45m (Age 18)

Real Madrid and Brazilian youngsters have always been a love affair made in heaven. After scoring 10 goals and assisting four times in 32 goals for Flamengo in the 2017-18 season, Vinicius Jr.’s electrifying pace, dribbling, and flair made him a valued acquisition for Real Madrid.

Vinicius was brought to Real Madrid for €45m, which made him one of the most expensive teenagers in world football of the last decade.

Despite a slow start, he developed into a key player, helping Madrid win three La Liga titles and two UEFA Champions League trophies.

8. Rodrygo – Santos to Real Madrid – 2019 – €45m (Age 18)

As I was saying, Real Madrid and Brazilian teenage stars stand in a love affair made in heaven.

Following Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo was signed to strengthen Real Madrid’s attack with a versatile winger capable of playing across the frontline. Rodrygo had already done well for Santos in the previous season, which caught the eyes of Los Blancos, and soon he was signed for €45m

Since then, he has won three La Liga titles and two Champions League titles with the club, while scoring 68 crucial goals and providing 51 assists.

7. Endrick – Palmeiras to Real Madrid – 2024 – €47.5m (Age 18)

Now it would be boring for you if I repeated the same thing. But what can I do if we have three back-to-back, same transfer patterns on our list of the most expensive teenagers in football transfer history?

Hailed as one of Brazil’s brightest prospects, Endrick’s prolific youth scoring and sharp finishing caught the eye of Real Madrid.

Endrick was brought to Bernabeu by Carlo Ancelotti after he helped Palmeiras win the Brazilian league in successive previous seasons.

6. Anthony Martial – Monaco to Manchester United – 2015 – €60m (Age 19)

🗓️ On this day in 2015...

Anthony Martial introduced himself to Old Trafford with THAT goal against Liverpool on his #MUFC debut 🥲🫶pic.twitter.com/2pbOF0B6F3

— Stretford Paddock (@StretfordPaddck) September 12, 2024

Martial’s dazzling speed, dribbling, and flair from France made Manchester United break their teenage transfer record. After a great season with AS Monaco, where he scored 12 goals and provided five assists, United broke every record to bring him to Old Trafford.

He had an immediate impact with 17 Premier League goals in his debut season, though injuries and form fluctuations have tempered his career since.

5. Leny Yoro – Lille to Manchester United – 2024 – €62m (Age 18)

Manchester United invested heavily in Leny Yoro’s defensive attributes, physicality, and maturity beyond his years. Yoro was signed by United under Erik ten Hag for €62m, a record transfer fee for a teenage defender.

He still continues to be one of the pillars of the United defence under new boss Ruben Amorim.

4. Romeo Lavia – Southampton to Chelsea – 2023 – €62.1m (Age 19)

Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia’s combination of technical skill, tactical intelligence, and defensive contributions enticed Chelsea to pay a club-record fee of €62.1m for a teenager.

Lavia was first discovered by Manchester City, where he flourished for the Manchester City U-21 and U-23 teams. Then, he did well for Southampton to be able to attract a large bid from Chelsea.

3. Matthijs de Ligt – Ajax to Juventus – 2019 – €85.5m (Age 19)

Matthijs De Ligt captained a young Ajax side to the 2018/19 Champions League semifinals and even scored a decisive goal for them in the quarter-finals. Juventus rewarded him with one of the highest fees ever for a teenage defender when he was bought for a record fee for a teenage defender, €85.5m.

After spending seasons with Juventus and FC Bayern Munich, the defender signed for Manchester United in 2024, under former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.

2. Joao Felix – Benfica to Atletico Madrid – 2019 – €127.2m (Age 19)

Touted as a generational talent, Joao Felix was signed as a creative attacking replacement for Antoine Griezmann by Atletico Madrid in 2019 for a club record €127.2 million.

Felix had scored 20 goals in 43 games for Benfica, along with 11 assists, before joining the Spanish club. However, he could not justify the price tag and soon found himself playing for different clubs.

At 25, he has now signed for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr FC.

1. Kylian Mbappe – Monaco to Paris Saint-Germain – 2018 – €180m (Age 19)

Kylian Mbappe's transfer from AS Monaco to PSG in 2018 is still the most expensive football transfer for a teenager.

Mbappe's blistering pace, clinical finishing, and football intelligence at such a young age had already made him a star.

In the 2016/17 season, Mbappe scored 28 goals and had 14 assists in 46 games for Monaco, which had set him up as one of the greatest footballing talents on earth. Among those 28 goals, 6 were in the Champions League in just 9 games.

PSG thought of Mbappe as an investment as they looked to win the UEFA Champions League for the first time.

PSG’s record fee of €180m paid off as he became Ligue 1’s all-time top scorer, a World Cup winner, and one of the world’s best players.

Real Madrid and England star midfielder Jude Bellingham has finally decided to undergo the shoulder surgery, which he injured in 2023. Jude had suffered the injury during his first season for the Los Blancos against Rayo Vallecano on November 5, 2023.

The  21-year-old star will go for surgery today and is all set to miss twelve weeks after shoulder surgery in London. He will return to action in mid-October, following the completion of his rehabilitation process.

Jude has been suffering from the pain for 2 years now. After dislocating the shoulder against Rayo Vallecano, Jude did not want to go for the surgery right away and decided to play with the pain. He started wearing a shoulder brace, which gave the shoulder a bit of solidity. Jude then went on to have a great 2023-24 season in which he won the  La Liga, the Champions League, and the Spanish Super Cup with Real Madrid.

With time, although Jude's pain became a bit less, the shoulder brace started to frustrate him a bit. Due to wearing the shoulder brace for a long time, he was "losing a lot of weight from sweating so much". Not only that, he also mentioned that his "patience is running out" with all the limitations the brace was forcing on him.

So, eventually, after two years, Jude decided to let go of the problem and do the surgery.

An arthroscopic shoulder surgery will be done on Bellingham, and the full process of recovery can take more than three months. However, Fernando Ramos of the Spanish Association of Physiotherapists feels that players with similar injuries generally require four months to return to training, with competitive play resuming potentially five to six months post-surgery.

During his rehabilitation process, Jude will miss eight LaLiga matches and the beginning of the Champions League group stage for Real Madrid under new manager Xabi Alonso. Not only that, he will also miss England's World Cup qualifying fixtures against Andorra and Serbia in September 2025.

What does it truly mean to be a world champion club? The FIFA Club World Cup provides the answer, pitting the best against one another in a quest for global dominance.

As the 21st edition of Club World Cup concluded with Chelsea lifting the title after a dominating 3-0 victory over PSG, it is time to look back at the history of this tournament.

This article will explore all the past winners, top scorers, most successful teams, all at once.

FIFA Club World Cup: Past Winners

The FIFA Club World Cup, a tournament designed to crown the world's best club team, first took place in 2000. It then paused for several years, from 2001 through 2004, before returning as an annual event.

Now, 2025 marked the beginning of an entirely new era for the Club World Cup, featuring an expanded format and a fresh vision for global club football. Chelsea FC, with an incredibly successful campaign, stood victorious in this format.

Check out the past winners list below:

Here comes the elite list where individual dominance shines:

FIFA Club World Cup: Most Successful Teams

Real Madrid holds the tag of most successful team in FIFA Club World Cup history with 5 titles. Check out the other clubs that follow:

• Real Madrid: 5 wins
• Barcelona: 3 wins
• Bayern Munich: 2 wins

Current UEFA Champions League winners PSG thrashed and humiliated 2024 UEFA Champions League winner Real Madrid by 4-0 to enter the final of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. PSG will now face Chelsea in the final on 13th July.

Fabian Ruiz scored a brace for the club from France, while Ousmane Dembele and Goncalo Ramos scored the other two goals for them. Real Madrid legend and six-time Champions League winner with the Los Blancos, Luka Modric, played his last game for the club. 

What happened in the match?

Luis Enrique had to name a team without Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez, who were suspended for two games for their red cards in the game against FC Bayern Munich. However, after the win against Bayern, the Parisians looked confident to face Real Madrid. 

First half

PSG had a flying start as they scored as many as three goals within the first 25 minutes of the game. The first goals came within the first ten minutes of the semi-final. 

Fabian Ruiz started the goal fest for them. After two nearly missed chances, PSG finally converted as Dembele won the ball from Raul Asencio inside the box and managed to find Ruiz, who opened the scoring in the 6th minute. 

Three minutes later, Dembele, one of the contenders for Ballon d'Or 2025, turned goal scorer as he snatched the ball away from Antonio Rudiger inside the box and found the back of the net easily. 

After the first two mistakes, Real Madrid could not bounce back. In the 24th minute, Ruiz scored his second of the game, as Dembele proved to be the main man for the Parisians. 

In the counterattack attack the Frenchmen initiated the attack, finding Hakimi with a cross, who found an unmarked Ruiz for the third goal of the match.

Second half

In the second half, the game slowed a bit, and Real Madrid tried to find gaps through the PSG defence, but failed.

Mbappe's shot in the 52nd minute went over the goal, while Valverde's attempt in the 72nd minute was blocked by Beraldo. Apart from those two occasions, Xabi Alonso's men could not provide any genuine chances in the second half. 

During the final minutes of the game, Goncalo Ramos put the final nail in the coffin. In the 87th minute, Ramos made a quick turn and found the net after receiving a pass from Barcola.

The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 final will now take place between PSG and Chelsea at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on 14th July, 12.30 am Indian Standard Time.
