Two of Spain's brightest talents are being tipped to move to England, with both Chelsea and Liverpool showing an interest.
Real Madrid pair Juan Manuel Mata and Alberto Bueno were the stars of the show, as they helped Spain claim the European Under-19 championship last month.
Both are currently with Real Madrid's second team Castilla - but their progress has not gone unchecked at El Santiago Bernabeu, as they were both included in the club's UEFA Champions League squad.
It is being reported that the pair could depart the Spanish capital next summer, which has alerted clubs from around Europe.
Chelsea and Liverpool are now said to be leading the race for the duo - who both play in forward roles, although Real are said to be doing everything in their power to make sure the two 19-year-olds sign extended deals with them.
Liverpool are also been linked with another swoop on the Castilla squad, with coach Rafa Benitez said to be interested in landing one of their goalkeepers - Adan or Kiko Casilla.
Benitez is believed to be looking to expand his goalkeeping options and has had his scouts compile dossiers on 19-year-old Adan and Kiko, 20.
Liverpool feel Real are in no position to keep both highly promising shot-stoppers and will look to land one of them in time for next season.

Spanish radio is reporting that Atletico are favourites to land West Hams unhappy twosome. It is believed Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez have been offered to Atletico Madrid.

And of course the Beckham saga rolls on here - with much talk of him returning to England, unbelievably Blackburn are being said to be the favourites to land him
Thats all folks!!! ;D
