Roma have snapped up Real Madrid prospect Julen Jon Guerrero.

The striker moves to Roma on an initial loan arrangement.

Guerrero spent the second half of last season on loan with Amorebieta in the Primera RFEF where he played 18 games and scored four goals.

This season, Guerrero had to make the leap to one of the Madrid reserve teams and a place has not been found for him in either of the two squads.

Castilla plays in the Primera RFEF, but has the attack covered with Nico Paz and César Palacios. And the Real Madrid C team plays in the RFEF Tercera Division.

The 19-year-old has not had a good relationship with Raúl González, coach of Castilla and it was decided together with the club that the best option was a move away to continue his development.
