Real Madrid has the youngest squad of the 21st century

Real Madrid continues to renew its football bloodline by building a youthful squad, the youngest in the club's history in more than 25 years. This reflects a strategic shift led by club president Florentino Pérez towards long-term investment in promising talent . According to the Spanish newspaper "Marca", the average age of the team's players is 25.07 years, the lowest since the 1998-1999 season, when the average age was 24.88, when Raúl González and Guti were among the team's most prominent rising stars . The arrival of Argentine Franco Mastrantuono (17 years old) and Dutchman Den Huysen (20 years old) reinforces this trend and confirms the club's management's commitment to building a team based on youth and talent, in an approach that abandons attracting big stars in favor of a project that ensures continuity and competitiveness . The roots of this transformation date back to 2009, when Florentino Pérez returned to the club's presidency and began changing its signing policy. The focus shifted to scouting young talent from around the world, with a strict commitment not to sign players over the age of 30, except in rare cases . The royal team's project represents a new model in European football, with players like Endrick and Diego Aguado among the latest to be promoted to the first team, having performed remarkably despite their young age. Other young talents are also beginning to write their first chapters in the royal club's jersey . It seems that Real Madrid, which has always been associated with stars, has decided this time to create its own stars, believing that championships are not only decided on the field, but also begin with vision and investment in the future .
