Schalke 04 interested in Real Madrid starlet http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Canales-c33052 – Bundesliga news
According to reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues
and might follow the footsteps of former Real Madrid star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gonzalez-c15099, who joined the Gelsenkirchen club last summer.
Canals was signed by Real Madrid from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Santander last season for a fee of 5 million Euros but the youngster has so far failed to command a regular spot in the first-team under Jose Mourinho. In the recently concluded 2010/11 season, Canales played
just 10 games and made only three starts for the Madrid giants. The 20-year-old is well behind Mesut Ozil, Kaka and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Granero-c12919 in the pecking order and is also looking to leave the club in order to garner playing time which he might not be possible at
Real Madrid. While talking to the media, the youngster also admitted to his frustration at the lack of opportunities and said, “I want to play. It was a very unsatisfactory season.”
However, Schalke might find it hard to sign the youngster who is also attracting a lot of interest from English Premier League side Arsenal FC. Rumours suggest that the player is allowed to join any club that he wishes to on a loan deal with the right to
purchase outright at the end of the season. Should a move to Schalke materialise, Canales would be the third Real Madrid player to leave the club for the Royal Blues. Previously, German International http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christoph-Metzelder-c9168, and Raul moved to Schalke last summer
and went on to win the DFB Pokal in their first season at the club.
After joining the Racing Santander senior side in 2008, the youngster slowly became an integral part of the side and went on to make 32 appearances for Los Verdiblancos, also scoring an impressive six goals. However, the move to Real Madrid has hampered
his progress and moving to a club where he is guaranteed ample amount of playing time could reignite his career that has so much promise.
