Spanish football giants Real Madrid have signed a seven-year-old Argentine boy.
Leonel Angel Coira, who has lived in Spain for the past three years, will start training with the children's team on September the 6th.
In an interview with Argentine sports daily Ole last week, Leonel said he hoped to make Real's first team one day -- even though his idol is Lionel Messi, star of Madrid's arch-rivals Barcelona.
His father Miguel, who is the coach of a small team in the Madrid suburbs, told the Spanish newspaper ABC that Leonel had signed a one-year contract that can be renewed but will receive no salary.
From the age of 16 he can play in the first team.
He said his son decided on Real after receiving an offer from cross-town rivals Atletico Madrid.
