Paco Jemez warned about his high price tag a few days. "I almost fell out of my chair when I heard about Raul de Tomas' price," explained the Rayo Vallecano coach, who could only enjoy the on loan Real Madrid man in action at the back end of the season.
A campaign which De Tomas closed with 14 goals. Good stats which have earned him a return to Real Madrid as a better valued player. That said, his future is still up in the air. He, as long as they let him, wants to fight for a place in the team.
But Real Madrid have to sell to be able to sign. And they have seen De Tomas as a good opportunity to sell, who has been priced at 35 million euros, according to 'Marca'.
One of the team which has shown most interest in De Tomas has been Benfica, but 'O Jogo' points out that the Lisbon side were perparing an offer of 12 million, a third of what Madrid are asking for.
