Real Madrid have loaned out of favour winger Pedro Leon back to his former club Getafe for the season, the two clubs said Wednesday.
Leon, who scored one goal in six appearances for Real Madrid last season, played for Getafe in the 2009-10 season before joining Real for a reported fee of 10 million euros ($14.5 million) in July last year.
"Real Madrid and Getafe have reached an agreement by which Pedro Leon will be loaned out to the latter club. Getafe reserve the right to purchase the player at the end of the present season," the two clubs said in a statement.
Real coach Jose Mourinho warned Saturday that he saw no place in his squad for Leon, Dutch midfielder Royston Drenthe and Argentine midfielder Fernando Gago, saying "they won?t be options for me because they don?t enter into my plans."
Leon has also played for Spanish sides Levante, Murcia and Valladolid.
