Real Madrid coach Lopetegui wants 2 signings and Vallejo exit

Real Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui is eager to see some transfer business done in the final weeks of the summer market.

AS says Lopetegui wants another centre-half signed and also a striker, the coach has sanctioned the departure of Jesus Vallejo on-loan.

Lopetegui has told management to allow Vallejo to leave. The defender faces 4-6 weeks on the sidelines due to injury, but Lopetegui wants to see him move out on-loan to continue his development.

In attack, he is happy to count on Borja Mayoral, but is eager for another No9 to be added to his squad. Lopetegui is happy for Raul de Tomas to be moved out.

Real are willing to meet Lopetegui's requests, but have warned they won't pay crazy money for new signings this month.
