Borja Mayoral Moya (born 5 April 1997) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a striker for Real Madrid Castilla. He has also represented Spain up to under-21 level.

Club career[edit]

Born in Parla, Madrid, Mayoral joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2007, after starting out at his hometown club AD Parla. In 2014 he was included in the latter's Juvenil A squad, and also scored seven goals in the UEFA Youth League, including a hat-trick in a 6–0 group stage win over PFC Ludogorets Razgrad[1] and the team's goal in their 1–1 draw with FC Porto Juniors in the last 16, being their only player to convert his opportunity in their penalty shootout exit.[2]

On 18 January 2015, Mayoral made his senior debut for Real Madrid Castilla in their 1–0 Segunda División B win over Getafe CF B, replacing Álvaro Jiménez after 74 minutes.[3] As a half-time replacement for Cristian Benavente on 25 April, he scored his first goal for the team in a 2–2 draw with Sestao River Club at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano;[4] four days later, having amassed 43 goals for different teams over the season,[5] he was an unused substitute in the main team's 3–0 home win over UD Almería.[6] On 4 May, he scored twice in a 3–1 win over Celta de Vigo in the quarter-finals of the División de Honor Juvenil,[7] and thirteen days later he concluded his reserve season by scoring the only goal in Castilla's win over CD Toledo.[8] He was sent off on 27 June at the end of the 2–1 loss to Rayo Vallecano in the final of the 2015 Copa del Rey Juvenil at the Estadio Alfonso Murube in Ceuta, for attacking an opponent.[9]

Mayoral opened the 2015–16 season with a brace in a 5–1 home routing of CD Ebro in the first game of the campaign.[10]

International career[edit]

Mayoral scored in each of Spain's three qualification matches for the 2015 European Under-19 Championship: two in a 5–0 rout of Turkey and other goals in victories over rivals Portugal and hosts Georgia.[11] At the finals in Greece, he finished as top scorer with three goals,[12] including one in the 2–0 final win over Russia as Spain sealed a seventh title in the category,[13] and made the Team of the Tournament.[14]

On 7 October 2015, Mayoral made his debut for the under-21 team in a qualification match away to Georgia for the 2017 European Championship; he replaced Samu Castillejo with an hour played, and nine minutes later converted Saúl Ñíguez's assist in a 5–2 comeback victory.[15]

Style of play[edit]

ESPN writer Rob Train predicted in August 2015 that Mayoral could become the new Raúl, another forward produced at Real Madrid's academy.[16]
