Real Madrid and Barcelona are competing tonight for the title of the Spanish Super Cup in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, and at the same time they are fighting a duel outside the field to win the signing of Argentine Gianluca Prestiani, the 16-year-old talent of the Phillies club.
The Blaugrana has been watching Prestiani for a long time, and he is also on the radar of the Royal Club.
The player, who is known as one of the best talents in Latin America, participated at this young age with the first team for Velez, and became the third youngest player to participate in the Argentine league after both Maradona and Sergio Aguero.

This Argentine winger caught the attention of the two La Liga giants because of his speed, skills, and leadership personality on the pitch, and it is expected that Barca and Real Madrid will follow him more before they make the final decision on submitting an offer to contract with him.
The last talent included in the "Merengue" was the Brazilian Andric (16 years), repeating the experiences of Vinicius Junior and Rodrigo, meaning that Real was focused on Brazilian football, but with Pristiani he will not have to give him a place among non-European players because he will obtain the Italian passport next summer. .
Pristiani is following in the footsteps of a number of Argentine talents who moved to Europe, including Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez and Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who helped Tango win the World Cup in Qatar.
Man City is also close to signing Pristiana's colleague Maximo Peron from Velez Sarsfield for 11 million euros.
