Real Madrid Call Up 16-Year-Old Keeper Hailed as the 'Next Donnarumma'

Real Madrid have called up 16-year-old keeperMohamed Airam Ramos Wade to first-team training and the young Spaniard has made quite the impression, reportsMarca


Personally called up to training by manager Zinedine Zidane, he had been developing his career with the U17s, but the Frenchman thought he would let him get familiar with first-team surroundings.

The club has already labelled the 16-year-old as the 'next Donnarumma' with the keeper aspiring to replicate the reputation of the Italian shot-stopper. Donnarumma, despite being just 17, has already established himself as number one at the San Siro with a string of first-class performances.


The keeper, better known as 'Moha', stands at 1.88m and has been called into the first-team as potential competition for the likes of Keylor Navas, Kiko Casilla and Ruben Yanez.

Navas currently occupies the Los Blancos number one shirt but has not been reaching the levels he did last term. He conceded three goals in midweek as Real Madrid squandered a two-goal lead away at Polish side Legia Warsaw and needed a late goal to rescue a point.


Zidane's side are letting in a goal a game on average in La Liga but still sit top of the league and are unbeaten in their 10 games so far.


Real Madrid take on newly promoted Leganes at the Bernabeu on Sunday looking to maintain the two-point gap they have at the summit.
