Watch 7-Year-Old Real Madrid Signee in Action

Real Madrid signed seven-year-old Leonel Coira to a youth development contract.
Are we really to believe that this little guy is already showing signs of developing into the next Lionel Messi? Maybe that's too far of a stretch, but the kid has some skills. Even in this brief clip, it's evident he's no typical second-grader.

Barca signed an American 10 year old as well. This is a common practice in La Liga, not insane at all.

Yep, they sign them younger to nurture the talent, thus creating exceptional footballers.
