Real Madrid have reportedly decided to allow Jose Leon Bernal to sign a loan deal with Rayo Vallecano.

Bernal has spent the last 14 years with Real, with the defensive-minded player coming the youth team to become captain of the club's 'B' team.

However, the 23-year-old has failed to make the breakthrough at the Bernabeu, with the former Spain Under-19 international still awaiting his debut for the first team.

According to Marca, that has resulted in Bernal being given the chance to make an impression at fellow La Liga outfit Rayo Vallecano.

The report claims that Vallecano will sign Bernal for the next two seasons, the same length of time which is remaining on the player's contract at Real.
