Real's Soldado on loan to Osasuna.

Osasuna has taken Real Madrid reserve team striker Roberto Soldado on loan for one season.

The 21-year-old scored two goals in 11 Primera Liga appearances last season and netted the winner in Real's 2-1 win over Olympiakos in the Champions League group stage.

"The idea is to leave and have a good season with a Primera Liga team scoring goals, and to develop as a footballer," Soldado told Real's Web site. "The following year I want to return to the Real first team. I chose Osasuna because it gives me the chance to play in the Champions League."

Soldado is rated a very talented future striker of Spain.


Real Madrid Castilla's Jurado is also move on, his transfer to neighbours Atlético causing some concern at the Bernabeu, despite an €8 million buy back option which they have retained over the next two seasons. De la Red and Balboa said they want a change as well, and Arbeloa went a few days ago to Deportivo La Coruña, who are building up a new young squad and who have already signed Rodri, Cristián and now Verdú from Barcelona B. Castilla's new coach Michel shouldn't be too concerned though, as he can count on five of the recently crowned under-19 European champions for his team next season.
