Real Madrid warned by judge over pursuit of Malaga youngster Izan Merino

Real Madrid have been referred to the buyout clause of Malaga youngster Izan Merino.

With Malaga in administration, Real Madrid made an attempt to sign 17 year-old Merino for €250,000.

But a local judge has thrown out the bid, reports Diairo Sur, and has insisted if Merino is to leave Malaga it will only be for his €3m buyout clause.

As such Real Madrid must significantly increase their initial proposal if they wish to sign the prospect.

The 17 year-old Merino would initially be signed for Real Madrid's Castilla team.
