J.Portillo leaves "Fiorentina" and returns to Madrid © EuroFootball.com

The attacker from Spain Javier Portillo has shortened his loan period in the team and is leaving Italy to return to Madrid already in January, not at the end of the season as previously planned.

The 22-year-old Portillo, after the royal club from England acquired Michael Owen last summer, remained only the fifth attacker in the team, and "Real" loaned him to the "Serie A" returning team "Fiorentina" for one season.

However, this week, with Fernando Morientes moving to , the Madrid club initially thought of taking Roberto Soldado from the reserve team, but ultimately decided to bring Portillo back, who holds the title of the most prolific young player in the history of the "Real" youth team.

J.Portillo, not fitting in Italy, represented the Florence team in 11 league matches and two cup matches, scoring just one goal in both tournaments.
