Zidane keen on Raul de Tomas' return

Raul de Tomas could be the perfect forward for Real Madrid. After a couple of seasons away from the Bernabeu, Zidane could decide to give him an opportunity in the form of a loan deal.

After going through Madrid's academy, rising through the youth teams into the second team and finally making his debut with the first team.

Raul de Tomas first went to Cordoba, at the age of 21 ahead of the 2015-16 season. One season later and he moved to Valladolid. The season after that, he found himself at Rayo Vallecano, the team at which he is now on loan.

Rayo is precisely where the young striker has begun to spark interest, after lasst season in which he scored 24 goals in 32 games and a current season in which he has already accumulated 13 in the 29 official games he has played. In total, 37 goals in just 61 games, stats that have caught the attention of Real Madrid.

Specifically, Zidane. The French coach will have Raul de Tomas in mind if Los Blancos don't manage to close the signing of any star striker, if Hazard, Mbappé and company decide that their future is not with Madrid.

Raul de Tomas, in the eyes of 'Zizou', the ideal attacking partner for his compatriot Karim Benzema and, why not, his natural replacement when the Frenchman needs to be rested. That's why the Real Madrid coach has already given the go-ahead for his return to the Santiago Bernabeu.
