2- My younger brother plays as a midfielder with me at the club.
3- I am European but have a South American name.
4- I'm wanted by Barcelona and Real Madrid. Think of what positions they need to get backups for...
5- My team mate had a bad accident in a recent match.

Nice manbun.

Ahh man you both got it. Have to make it harder next time

is it Ricardo Rodriguez?...

If it is correct I got it only because of the third* clue.

Oh wow, I only just realised that Francisco was his brother.
