According to a report by Madrid Universal on November 12, 2026, Real Madrid youngster Carlos Colley has attracted interest from the England Football Association because of his dual nationality, with the governing body closely monitoring his development at the Spanish club.
The 14-year-old attacker is being tracked by England despite having already represented Spain's Under-15 team.
Colley is considered one of the promising talents emerging from Real Madrid's academy and has drawn comparisons with former club forward Gareth Bale because of his exciting and dynamic style of play.
The youngster is eligible to represent England through his father, giving the country an opportunity to secure his international commitment despite his involvement in Spain's youth setup.
The report, citing AS, states that the English FA is monitoring his progress but has not yet made a formal approach.
Real Madrid are aware of the situation and have already taken steps to protect the youngster's future. The Spanish giants recently hosted Colley and his representatives, CAA Stellar, at their Valdebebas training ground, where he signed a contract extension running until 2029.
The new agreement highlights the club's belief in his potential as he continues to develop within their academy.
Colley has already gained valuable international experience with Spain's Under-15 side. He was part of the squad that won a development tournament in Austria towards the end of October and also started in their victory over Iceland.
Despite representing Spain at youth level, his eligibility for England means his long-term international future remains undecided.
The teenager also has connections to English football through his admiration for former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard. However, his current football idol is Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham, whose competitive mentality and determination have reportedly impressed him.
Before joining Real Madrid's academy, Colley spent six years at Real Murcia. He also came close to becoming a national beach soccer champion in 2024.
For now, the youngster remains focused on developing his game at Real Madrid rather than making a decision about his senior international future.
His progress is expected to attract continued attention from both football associations, with England potentially facing competition from Spain for his allegiance as he develops.
