REAL Madrid has signed a 7-year-old football prospect from Argentina, who also happens to go by the name Leo, just like his idol Lionel Messi.
Leonel Angel Coira signed with the Spanish club and will begin training on September 6, Madrid spokesman Juan Tapiador said. Last week, Coira told Argentine sports daily Ole that his idol was Messi, the Barcelona forward who is also Argentine and goes by the name Leo. Coira said he prefers "to provide the pass" rather than score. He already has a Facebook page featuring photos of his visit to Real Madrid. Barcelona signed Messi from Argentina as a teenager.
