Real Madrid chasing new Messi Iturbe

Real Madrid are chasing Cerro Porteno youngster Juan Manuel Iturbe.

Iturbe is also on the shopping lists of Tottenham and Genoa and has been likened to Barcelona superstar Lionel Messii.

Although he grew up in Paraguay, he has opted to play for Argentina.

There is some confusion over who owns the player, though, as Quilmes claim they signed him on a free transfer this month.

That is because he was too young to be tied to a professional contract.
