Real Madrid and Derby County have reached an agreement to complete the loan of Los Blancos wonderkid Omar Mascarell for one season.
The 21-year-old midfielder played for Real Madrid Castilla last season, making 38 appearances and proving to be one of the most promising young players on Los Merengues reserve squad.
After Castilla got relegated to the third division, Real were looking to loan Mascarell to a team where he could develop his game.
Derby County has finally been the chosen destiny for Mascarell to gain experience.
“Derby County is a great option for me. I can come here, grow as a person and grow as a footballer,” the youngster confessed.
“It is a very important year for me, the most important thing is having Steve McClaren coaching me. He wants to play good football,” Mascarell added.
Derby manager Steve McClaren admitted “we’re delighted that we have been able to bring Omar Mascarell to Derby County on a season-long loan deal. He is a talented young player and I have monitored his progress for a number of years after first coming to my attention whilst in Holland at Twente.”
