Young Real Madrid star leaves for a club in Spain's lower divisions

Leganes have announced the signing of Marvellous Antolin Garzon from Real Madrid on a permanent transfer, with the youngster known as Marvel signing a three-season contract with his new club. The 22-year-old left-footed centre-back is ready for his new experience after spending last season on loan at Cordoba.

The player returned to La Fabrica in 2016 for the club's U13 team after several years on loan at Rayo Vallecano, Atletico Madrid and Alcala.

The defender made 52 appearances for Castilla, netting once, but never broke into Real Madrid’s senior squad. After a strong loan spell at Córdoba last season—featuring in 28 matches—he has now signed a permanent three-year deal with Leganés, running until 2028.

Marvel follows fellow academy departures like Yusi, Víctor Muñoz, and Rafel Obrador, with more young exits anticipated soon.
