The Spaniard, ho has won 22 caps for Spain’s under-21 side – has struggled for game-time at the Bernabeu, having made just 19 appearances for Los Blancos.

Vallejo recovered from injury to his first La Liga goal against Villarreal in May.

He has had previous loan spells at Real Zaragoza and with Eintracht Frankfurt.
