Real Madrid, Barcelona chasing Velez Sarsfield winger Gianluca Prestianni

Real Madrid and Barcelona are chasing Velez Sarsfield winger Gianluca Prestianni.

Tha Blaugrana have been monitoring the teenager for some time, while he has been also placed on Real Madrid's radar, says Marca.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are now both keeping a close eye on Pestrianni, who at the age of 16 has already made his debut with Velez's first team.

Pestrianni's next challenge is to secure a regular spot in Velez's first team after becoming the third youngest player to make his debut in the Argentine top-flight after Diego Maradona and Sergio Aguero.

His pace and leadership on the pitch have helped him stand out, with the two LaLiga Santander giants monitoring his progress before making a final decision on whether they should make a move.
