Official: Real Madrid sign Chicharito on loan

The Champions League holders have announced
on their official website that they have signed the
Mexico international on a temporary basis




Real Madrid have confirmed that they have
secured the services of Javier "Chicharito"
Hernandez on loan from Manchester United for
the 2014-15 campaign, with an option to make the
move permanent at the end of the season.
Madrid were in the market for a new striker
following the exit of Alvaro Morata to Juventus
earlier this summer and they have now found the
back-up for main striker Karim Benzema that
head coach Carlo Ancelotti had requested.
On Monday, Madrid confirmed the deal for the
Mexico international, who has failed to nail down
a first-team spot at Old Trafford.
"Real Madrid and Manchester United have
reached an agreement over the loan deal of
Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, who will be playing
for Madrid this season," a statement on the club's
official website reads.
"Madrid have an option to buy the player
outright.
"Javier Hernandez will be unveiled to the media in
the press room Monday at 16:30CET."
The 26-year-old had joine United from Guadalajar
in the summer of 2010 and had since made over
100 Premier League appearances for the Premier
League outfit.
Nevertheless, he made the majority of his
appearances coming off the bench due to the
presence of Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie
at the club and he was keen to move on following
the imminent arrival of Radamel Falcao from
Monaco.
Hernandez won two Premier League titles during
his time in England.
