Los Blancos decided against adding the youth academy graduate to the first team and agreed terms to ship him off to Bayer Leverkusen.
Making your mark in Real Madrid first team is a feat that has eluded many youth academy graduates.
With only four indigenous players amongst their ranks in the first team, only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Granero-c12919 had to earn their moves to Los Blancos after away stints.
Home grown players have come to the realization that they will have to prove their worth away from the Santiago Bernabeu. The Capital club have always had money to spend, a fact that is the sole reason for a dearth of players making the step up from the lower echelons of the Spanish club.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Carvajal is the latest player to set on the path. The Castilla right-back earned a transfer to the German Bundesliga, coming on the accounts of Bayer Leverkusen for 5 million Euros.
Nevertheless, Real Madrid have allowed their prized youth academy player to leave without the insertion of a buy back clause. Los Blancos have the option to bring back Carvajal to the Santiago Bernabeu in the next two years.
The boy, born in Leganes, chose to part company with his boyhood club after seeing that the doors of the first team door are closed for him and bolted shut to his forays.
It has been reported that Jose Mourinho ignored the recommendations of former players, who saw Carvajal as a first team regular in the future, claiming that he needs to prove himself before earning a regular spot in the first team squad.
The 20-year-old will travel to Leverkusen in the coming week and will be presented to Bayer fans after undergoing medical examinations. Carvajal will play under the command of former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 defender, Sami Hyppia, and will not have to worry about shortage of advice from the much travelled Fin.
Carvajal joins Bayer in the middle of their preseason training that started in earnest two weeks ago. The Bundesliga club played their first friendly against Duisburg, thrashing the minnows 5-1 in a one sided affair.
