“During January I had options to move to England, but I want to repay Mourinho and the club’s trust in me. I don’t regret moving to Real Madrid and I knew that this first year would be tough. It’s not great when I’m not in the squad but I want to show what I can do on the pitch.”
It was widely reported that Liverpool were the primary English club interested in Canales’s signature, so who exactly is he?
He was snapped up by his hometown club Racing Santander at the age of just 11 after impressing for local side C.D Augistinos as a creative midfielder.

His performances weren’t going unnoticed and he was watched by Spanish national youth team scouts from a young age. He made his way through the Spanish youth ranks from the U16s to the U19s, impressing at all levels.
