Jose Reyes Lopez, who has been playing for Leganes, will now join up with the Los Blancos’ academy.
The 11-year-old agreed the move prior to the death of his father – who played for Real for a season on loan in 2006-07 – but announced the switch on Instagram along with a picture of his mother.
"I'm very happy and proud to start a new chapter at Real Madrid," he wrote. "I want to thank all those people that have supported me and trusted me, especially my family.
I will continue to enjoy myself, work and learn with humility.
The post drew a comment from former Barcelona and Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas, who wrote: "Study, listen, fight and above all, never stop believing.
"Humility as always before everything. Much love crack."
