Contract option
Valdo has put pen to paper on a six-month contract with the option of a one-year extension at season's end. The 22-year-old impressed on his Madrid debut in the league match against Athletic Club Bilbao last season, but has failed to break into the first team this term.
Webó wooed
Meanwhile, Aguirre's Osasuna, who are three points off the relegation zone in the Primera División, have made a second purchase in Cameroonian forward Pierre Achille Webó from Uruguay's Club Nacional. Webo has signed a three-and-a-half year contract but will spend the rest of the campaign on loan at second división CD Leganés.
Loan deals
Nacional will retain a 50 per cent interest in the player until the summer when Osasuna will decide whether to buy him outright. The Pamplona club have also loaned two players to second division clubs with defender Francisco Javier Jesué joining Getafe CF and striker Gorka de Carlos heading to SD Eibar, both until June.
