Pedro Leon to play for Getafe on loan

Real Madrid has managed the transfer (on loan) of one of the players who was in the sale operation for this upcoming season. The first was David Mateos, central defender, who will play for the Real Madrid Castilla after returning from his loan at Real Zaragoza. Mateos is a former Castilla's player and will help the youth team to stay in the Spanish Second Division.

Pedro Leon

And Pedro Leon has been the next. The midfielder will play again for Getafe. Last year he was loaned to the blue team because Mourinho did not want him on the squad. After his problems with Mourinho the player decided to play for Getafe and has spent a year there although it was not a good year for him due to injuries.

Getafe had already announced that wanted the player to stay on the team once again. The player himself had also indicated he did not want to move from Getafe, much less to return to Real Madrid, and was only needed that the two clubs to agree. In principle, since last summer there was a clause of purchase for Getafe by 8 million euros in compensation per the year of loan. However, the blue team president, Angel Torres, have managed to renegotiate the agreement and get Pedro Leon another year on loan. That is, zero cost.

Real Madrid will save the salary of the player, almost completely, because Getafe will pay it. The blue team wanted to have him because they know the quality of Pedro Leon and the negotiation of transfers is one of the things that must be taken into account at this time of the season. But in the near future and with the continuity of Mourinho, both teams will have to renegotiate the terms of the agreement. Perhaps the Getafe hopes to sign him for free or for less than 8 million euros. But it will be another story.
