Real Madrid's relentless drive to dominate football for the next decade shows no signs of abating. Far from resting on their Champions League laurels they are about to sign 18-year-old Marco Asensio from Mallorca, snatching him from Barcelona in the process.

The skilful left-footed midfielder is so highly rated by @placeholder  that they have included a clause in his contract that for an extra 800,000 euros (£635,000) they can take him in January and fast-track him straight into their first team squad if they are hit by injuries between now and the closing of the winter transfer window.
