Madrid announced that the forward Javier Portillo, who has not managed to establish himself in the team, is moving to the Spanish "Primera" league club "Tarragona" for two seasons. "Real" will have the opportunity to buy the player back during those two years and will receive compensation if he is sold.
J.Portillo has been included in the list of players unwanted by the new team coach Fabio Capello and not included in the club's tour after the failed trip to the USA, which also includes Thomas Gravesen, who wants to return to England, most likely Carlos Diogo, who will move to "Zaragoza", and the young Ruben and Borja.
"It's sad to leave Madrid, but I'm glad that this time I will stay in Spain," J.Portillo told journalists on Monday.
24-year-old J.Portillo made his debut in the main lineup of "Real" in 2002, but since then he has not had many opportunities to show himself. Two years ago, the forward was loaned to the team of "Fiorentina", last year to "Club Brugge", but he did not shine in any of the teams.
