Mariano Villafáfila, a 19-year-old forward, has opted not to extend his contract with Real Valladolid. Atlético de Madrid has been following him in several matches and is determined to sign him at the end of the season, surpassing other major teams that also expressed interest. Having scored over 40 goals in the Juvenil category, including 14 this season, Villafáfila has already participated in four matches with Valladolid's reserve team, Promesas. It is yet to be determined whether he will join Atlético's second team or their affiliate, CUC Villalba, which competes in Tercera RFEF and is currently in a play-off position for promotion to Segunda RFEF.
