In a surprising move, Real Madrid C.F. has announced the signing of Bijaya Bikram Gurung, also known as “Charcoal Gurung,” a 32-year-old striker from Nepal. This marks the first time that a Nepalese football player has been signed by a top European club.
Gurung, who made his mark in the Nepalese league and has played for the national team, was scouted by Real Madrid’s talent spotters, who were impressed by his speed, agility, and technical skills on the ball. After a successful trial period, Real Madrid’s management offered him a contract that will keep him at the club for the next three years.
Speaking to the media, Real Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, praised Gurung’s talent and said that he was excited to have him on the team. “Charcoal Gurung is a player with great potential and we believe he can make a significant contribution to our team. He has already shown us that he has the skills and the mentality to play at the highest level.”
Gurung, who was visibly delighted at the announcement, said that he was honored to be part of one of the biggest clubs in the world. “This is a dream come true for me. Real Madrid is a legendary club with a rich history and I am proud to be wearing their jersey. I am looking forward to working hard and contributing to the team’s success.”
The signing of Gurung is expected to create a huge buzz in Nepal, where football is a popular sport. It is also likely to inspire a new generation of Nepalese football players to pursue their dreams and aim for the top.
