Real Madrid German club complete season-long deal

Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Wolfsburg to loan out their young forward Borja Mayoral for one season.

With Real Madrid Castilla stuck in the third tier of Spanish football, it was clear that he would need to leave in order to further his development.

Although he made six first team appearances for Los Blancos in the 2015/16 campaign, three of which - against Levante, Celta Vigo and Real Sociedad - were as a starter, Borja would not have featured much in Zinedine Zidane's first team plans.

The 19-year-old will not be the first Real youth graduate to move to the Bundesliga in order to earn more playing time either, with several others having previously made the most of this tried and tested route.

Dani Carvajal's loan move to Bayer Leverkusen is the best success story, as the right-back was able to break into the Madrid first team after impressing in Germany - where he made the Bundesliga dream team.

With 15 goals in 29 matches for Castilla last season, Mayoral is a hot prospect and could perform similarly well.

Given the uncertainty over Los Blancos' ability to purchase players in upcoming transfer windows, due to FIFA's sanction for irregularities with regards to youth signings, the deal does not include an option for Wolfsburg to buy the player.
