Real Madrid have raided Villarreal for talent spotter Andres Pardo.

Pardo moves to Real Madrid to head recruitment for 'La Fabrica', the club's academy.

Villarreal has benefited from Pardo's expertise, with Yeremi Pino the latest whizkid to make a breakthrough.

Pardo is regarded as an expert on Spain's youth transfer market, particularly with the way he recruits young players without a fuss and ahead of the country's biggest clubs.
