"Real" loaned Sergio Canales to Madrid for two seasons. The Valencia team will also have the option to buy the player's contract for 12 million euros, but "Real" also retains the right of first refusal to bring him back. "I arrived at a great team that competes at the highest level both in Europe and in Spain," Canales said. "This is an important step that will allow me to continue playing among the elite." Last year, the Spain youth international (under 20) who signed a contract with "Real" failed to establish himself in the main lineup and played only 12 games in total.
