Real Madrid has once again demonstrated its commitment to nurturing young talent by signing 10-year-old Mexican footballer, José Rodrigo Íñigo Ruvalcava. The young prodigy has officially joined the club's Alevín C category, as announced on the club's official website.

Íñigo Jr., born in Naucalpan, State of Mexico, on July 29, 2014, follows in the footsteps of his father, Rodrigo Íñigo, who had a successful career playing for Mexican clubs like América, Puebla, and Lobos BUAP, as well as a stint in the youth academies of Spanish clubs.

He will progress through the Alevín, Infantil, Cadete, and Juvenil categories before potentially reaching Real Madrid C and Castilla, the club's reserve team.

Real Madrid's youth academy has a rich history of producing world-class talent. Players like Raúl González, Iker Casillas, and Sergio Ramos all came through the ranks at La Fábrica, as the academy is known.
