Real Mallorca signed Donald Trump, 8 years old. Yes, that’s right. Trump will play for ‘los bermellones’.
No, he is not related to President Obama. This little footballer was born to Nigerian parents in August 2017, at Son Espases Hospital. He started his career at Sporting Ciutat de Palma before joining the Mallorca youth team.
This move is not just for fun, it’s a part of an important plan. The sporting directors of the club want him to have everything he requires to progress through the ranks, like former youth players Javi Lopez and David Llabres. This kid, unlike Abdon Prats and Leo Roman who had to go through other teams before developing within Mallorca’s system, is given a direct shot from the start.
Of course, social media exploded with memes and jokes about the young Donald Trump. Sporting Ciutat de Palma, however, was quick to correct the record, saying that they are proud of their ex-player, and praised his talent, bravery, and determination. “We wish him all the best for this new chapter.” The club advised him to “keep working with humility and consistency”
The name of the kid might catch your eye, but a talented little boy is beginning his career in professional soccer. If he keeps working hard, then who knows? One day, we may be referring to him by his goals and not his name.
