Real Madrid slam Liverpool for Bruna signing - Telegraph
Bruna turned down a professional deal with the Spanish club having spent three years at Real to sign a three-year deal to join Rafael Benitez's squad.
The teenager's decision has surprised Real youth coach Michel who has said that the youngster will regret joining Liverpool when he fails to make the breakthrough.
He said: "How many young players taken by Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have actually played for their first team?
"That is what happens all the time in England. When they see someone they like, they take him.
"They sign the boy to a contract, make all sorts of promises and then put him in their reserves and never give him a competitive game."
Bruna has already been dubbed as 'the next Lionel Messi' and Michel said it was a shame to see the player leave.
"I was surprised when Bruna left because he had been with us for three years and, as soon as he was about to mature, Liverpool took him."
