Real Madrid signs 7-year-old Leo

MADRID -- Real Madrid has signed a 7-year-old soccer prodigy from Argentina who goes by the name Leo -- just like Lionel Messi.

Leonel Angel Coira signed with the Spanish club and will begin training Sept. 6, Madrid spokesman Juan Tapiador told The Associated Press on Monday.

Coira told the Argentine sports daily Ole last week that his idol is Messi, the Barcelona forward who is also Argentine and goes by the name Leo. Coira said he prefers to pass rather than score. He already has a Facebook page featuring photos of his visit to Real Madrid.

Madrid reportedly made the push to sign Coira because Spanish league rival Atletico Madrid was also pursuing the youngster.

Why is this a bad thing? It's pretty much like boarding school...they get schooling/education, they get a place to sleep and food to eat.

I don't get it why you're upset?

Non soccer fans.

This happens ALL THE TIME. Especially with clubs in Europe. This kid will be part of Reals academy. Nothing to see here folks.
