Milan scouting Granada teenager Owen Emeka amid Real Madrid interest
Milan sent a scout to Spain to watch Granada face Albacete, initially intending to check Dylan Rodriguez but instead focusing on 17-year-old right-winger Owen Emeka. Emeka has one goal in the Spanish second division, and his display increased Milan's interest. The Rossoneri could place him in their second team if they sign him, though Real Madrid are also tracking the teenager.
Milan have recently sought promising, undervalued players from around Europe. Their scout travelled to Spain while Milan drew 2-2 with Lazio, watching Granada versus Albacete. The original target, Dylan Rodriguez, remained on the bench, so the trip instead allowed closer observation of Owen Emeka.
Emeka, a 17-year-old right-winger, has one goal in Spain’s second division. That goal came in the match Milan attended, raising the club’s interest. Milan reportedly remain very keen, intend to keep tracking him, and envisage a place in their second team if a deal is completed. Real Madrid are also monitoring him.
This story may affect Emeka, his family, Granada, Milan, Real Madrid, and supporters. Greater interest could bring a major career step and more attention, but also pressure and scrutiny for a 17-year-old. For clubs, it may show how top sides monitor second-tier youth. For fans, it could add intrigue to transfer windows. The outcome may depend on negotiations, playing time, and whether a second-team pathway is offered.
