Real Madrid create a department to deal with loans Real Madrid After the Lunin case

Real Madrid's leaders are worried about their players who have left the club on loan in search of minutes elsewhere.

Although there are cases that are proving to be very positive, like with Martin Odegaard and Sergio Reguilon, there are others that have caused Los Blancos to consider changing their strategy when it comes to loaning out players.

The case of Andriy Lunin is the most striking, following his unsuccessful spell at Leganes last year. The Ukrainian goalkeeper saw seeing a similar situation emerge at Real Valladolid in the first half of this season, sitting behind Jordi Masip and barely playing, so the club opted to cancel his loan and send him to LaLiga SmartBank side Real Oviedo.

Javi Sanchez and Jorge de Frutos also joined Valladolid on loan last summer, but they have suffered the same fate, with the latter also having his loan cut short, which has enabled him to join Rayo Vallecano for the second half of the season.

The coaches and board members at Real Madrid have decided to create a department within the sports management to assess in detail each and every one of the possible loans of their players, whether in the first team or in the youth academy.

Los Merengues have finished giving priority to clubs they have a good relationship with. From now on, each loan will be analysed in detail, with a special emphasis placed on coaches and their way of dealing with the youngers, as well as the situation of the team they would join and the level of competition, which will lead Real Madrid to make a decision that is in their best interests.

The situations experienced by both Lunin and De Frutos have set off the alarms.

At the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, they cannot understand why Valladolid pushed to bring in these players so much (they also asked for Take Kubo) and then gave them next to no game time.

The only good thing is that due to the good relationship between the two clubs, the players have been able to look for another destination without any problems, that is after receiving permission from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to do so.

Real Madrid are now going to focus on development when it comes to loaning out their players.

They are confident about the players returning to the club once their loans come to an end, but in order to do so they must be playing for the club they have joined.

As such, this season's loans have left more shadows than lights, despite the explosion of Odegaard at Real Sociedad and the impressive play of Reguilon at Sevilla.

In addition to the cases above, Jesus Vallejo and Dani Ceballos are also suffering similar experiences at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal respectively, with it thought that they would be featuring far more than they are.

Regarding Vallejo, Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has already stated that the former Spain under-21 captain will be able to seek a loan elsewhere for the second half of the season after featuring in just seven matches for the Premier League side, with those games split between the league, Europa League and Carabao Cup.
