Marcelo’s Son Signs His First Professional Contract With Real Madrid
The legacy continues. Enzo Alves, Marcelo’s son, secures his future at the Casa Blanca. Guided by Arbeloa and carrying the DNA of a champion, the heir has officially turned professional
The mystique of the Vieira da Silva family lives on at the Santiago Bernabéu. Enzo Alves, son of Brazilian legend Marcelo, has taken the ultimate step in his career by signing his first professional contract with Real Madrid. At just 16 years old, the young attacker carries more than just a historic last name; he carries the reputation of being one of the brightest 'diamonds in the rough' at La Fábrica.
As confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano this January 26, 2026, the 'Los Blancos' have secured the long-term future of a striker who stands out for his power and clinical goal-scoring instinct—qualities that have led him to rise through the youth ranks at a blistering pace
A Meteoric Rise at Valdebebas
Enzo’s growth has been unstoppable. Although he began the season with the Juvenil B (U17), his performance forced an immediate promotion to the Juvenil A (U19) setup. His potential is so great that he has already seen minutes with Real Madrid Castilla, debuting under the watchful eye of Álvaro Arbeloa in international tournaments such as the Premier League International Cup.
This professional contract comes during a dream week for the young striker, who recently made his mark on the European stage during the Youth League against Olympiacos.
A Legend’s Pride
Marcelo, the most decorated player in the club's history (with 25 trophies, including 5 Champions Leagues), celebrated his son’s milestone on social media with an emotional message:
"So proud of you, my son. You deserve it all! We keep going, steady and strong," expressed the historic left-back.
