Buddha fulfills his promise! Six years after Reyes passed away, his 18-year-old son grows up: training with Real Madrid

There are new faces participating in Real Madrid’s training ground this Friday. ESPN revealed on October 18 that Jose Reyes, who had just turned 18, was called up by coach Alonso to train with the Real Madrid first team. For Reyes, this is a day worth remembering. Together with superstars such as Mbappe and Bellingham, he accepted the guidance of Alonso and took one step closer to his Real Madrid dream.

Little Reyes has grown up vigorously and trained with the Real Madrid first team. This news caused fans to sigh: Reyes in heaven will be pleased with his son's growth and progress.

In June 2019, Reyes, who had played for Sevilla, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and other wealthy teams, unfortunately passed away due to a car accident at the age of 35. When Reyes died, his son Reyes Jr. was not yet 12 years old and had just joined Real Madrid's youth training from the Leganes youth team.

At Reyes's funeral, Real Madrid Chairman Florentino told those around him: "Until Antonio (Reyes) is 18 years old, as long as I am still here, I will not let anyone or anything cause trouble for this child."

Florentino fulfilled his promise. In the past six years, Reyes has been growing up under the care of the Real Madrid club. In the summer of 2023, Reyes Jr. was promoted to the Real Madrid U18 team; this summer, Reyes Jr. was promoted to the Real Madrid U19 team. In the Real Madrid echelon, little Reyes also received the care of Arbeloa, Raul and other Real Madrid celebrities, step by step, from an ignorant boy to an adult.

Reyes Jr. is 1.7 meters tall and can play as a left winger or second forward. His style is quite similar to his father's. In the past three years, Reyes has been selected for Spain U15, U16, and U17. Although he is not as talented as his father, he is still very good and has no problem becoming a professional player. This time, Alonso recruited Reyes to train with the first team, which is also his recognition of Reyes.

In October last year, Real Madrid renewed the contract with Reyes until 2027. After the contract is fulfilled, Reyes will be a 20-year-old boy. Reyes played for Real Madrid for one year in the 2006-07 season and was one of the contributors to Real Madrid's La Liga championship. Can Reyes Jr. be like his father and be able to represent Real Madrid's first team?
