Boca Juniors, Real Madrid And PSV After 16 Year-Old Peruvian

Real Madrid, Boca Juniors and PSV are all following the latest promise to come out of South America…



The young gun in question is 16 year-old Reimond Manco, chosen as MVP of the recent Ecuador-based Under-17 South American tournament.

According to Peruvian daily El Comercio, the budding star is closest to PSV Eindhoven, the fact that Boeren striker Jefferson Farfán is also Peruvian is helping to oil the machinery.

Real Madrid are not far behind either, having reportedly offered $350,000 to buy out 70% of the player's federative rights.

Boca President Mauricio Macri is also rumoured to be preparing to snatch the jewel away from under European gazes and bring him to La Bombonera.

Manco currently plays for Alianza Lima, and VP Carlos Franco has already reacted to interest coming from the Spanish Capital with a warning.

"We have not received any proposal from Real Madrid and I also believe we will not as the FIFA rules stipulate that selling federative rights of anybody under 18 is not allowed", he stressed.

Alianza are desperate to hold onto the player, knowing full well that his worth will rise and rise as he reaches 18 – the only question is how long he'll stay.

This is news to me. I heard River Plate were after Manco. I wouldn't be surprised that Real Madrid want their own "Messi" in Manco. The kid is that good, but here's hoping he's allowed to develop his game accordingly.

Another World class Peruvian in the making.

Peru for World cup 2010 or 2014?

Very slim chance for WC 2010 with current Football Directors. They really suck. They want to get re-elected so there goes our chance for WC 2014 as well.

We've always had very good talent, but now have the worst people running Peruvian football the last 20 odd years.

Surely PSV would be the best place for him to develop.

Boca is not too bad either.. Real would be a big mistake for him.

3010 or 3014 more like. After global warming only Peru and Nepal will have enough land for a football pitch.

Boca is still a huge club with huge expectations. He wouldnt have that big expectations at PSV and he can play CL football while developing.
