Real Madrid have got 11 days to conduct all their incoming transfers for the next 18 months, as a FIFA imposed embargo comes into affect for the next two transfer windows for both 'Los Blancos' and their city rivals, Atletico.
With that in mind, Zinedine Zidane has wasted no time in identifying a top young talent he wants to bring to the Bernabeu before his hands are tied for a year and a half. And Uruguayan teenage prodigy Rodrigo Bentancur looks set to be the first new recruit of the Zizou era.
The 18-year-old Boca Juniors midfielder is rated as one of the most promising youngsters in world football and was wanted by Juventus last Summer as part of the deal that saw Carlos Teves swap Turin for Buenos Aires. Bentancur has made just 25 senior appearances for Boca and will move to the Spanish capital for around £10m, where he will link up with Real's Castilla team, once managed by Zidane before his appointment as manager, earlier this month.
