"In Spain, rumors about the future of 20-year-old center-back Mauricio Lemos never stop. It is said that both Madrid's "Real" and "Barcelona" clubs are vying for the talented Uruguayan. M. Lemosas arrived in Spain this winter. "Las Palmas" rented the footballer from Kazan's "Rubin" until the end of the season. After a great end to the season, the Spanish club took the opportunity to acquire full rights to the Uruguayan. "I know that 'Barcelona' is competing for Lemos' signature. I also know that recently Madrid's 'Real' has shown interest in him," said the president of "Las Palmas" to the Spanish press. The player himself also confirmed the interest of the Spanish giants: "I recently heard news about 'Real'. They are also interested in my services. I am extremely happy that 'Real' and 'Barcelona' want me." In half a year with the "Las Palmas" team, M. Lemosas played 17 matches and helped the team to secure the 11th position.
