Real Madrid striker Raul de Tomas won't rule out a future return to Rayo Vallecano.

De Tomas will return to Real after a successful loan this season - despite Rayo's relegation.

He told AS: "I have to go back to my club, like last summer, it was the same situation. I'm from Real Madrid. I want to thank Rayo for two years because they were special. It was a dream to play here because I came as a little boy to see Rayo. I have achieved it.

"Here I felt like at home and hopefully in the future it could be too."

On Real coach Zinedine Zidane, De Tomas added: "I know him and he knows me. When the preseason comes, we'll see what happens."
