Munitis racing back to Santander

Real Madrid CF winger Pedro Munitis has been loaned out to his former club, Real Racing Club Santander, for the rest of the season.

Few chances
Munitis, who joined Madrid from Racing two years ago for €10.2m has had few chances to shine in the first team and recently made it clear that he was looking for regular games in an attempt to regain his place in the Spanish national team.

Inter not interested
The 27-year-old was reported to be one of the players Madrid were keen to include in part-exchange for new signing Ronaldo, but Internazionale FC were not interested in taking him.

Alonso deal
Racing, who won promotion back to the Primera División last season, have also agreed a loan deal for Valencia CF striker Diego Alonso, who was top scorer in the Segunda División when playing for Club Atlético de Madrid last term. A third new recruit, Brazilian midfield player Mesias Conceicao, also joined the Cantabrian club on loan before the Spanish league transfer deadline expired tonight.
