Cheryshev Agrees El Madrigal Return

Wednesday, June 15

According to Villarreal's official website, Cheryshev will move to El Madrigal on permanent terms after entering the final year of his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The club celebrated the return of the winger, who spent the 2014-15 season on loan at El Madrigal, on its official Twitter account:

Cheryshev joined the Castilla academy in 2002 and climbed the Real Madrid ranks before making his senior debut for the club a decade later, but his time at the Bernabeu appears to be at its end.

The Russia winger managed to make just seven first-team appearances for Los Merengues in the four years since he earned his senior Real Madrid debut and scored one goal for the club.

It was reported by J. Mata of Spanish newspaper AS in June that Cheryshev was closing in on a return to Villarreal, with the two clubs having reportedly patched up the wounds of last season's Copa del Rey mix-up.

It was Cheryshev who came on as an ineligible player for Los Blancos against Cadiz in the round of 32, leading to Real's disqualification from the competition.

According to Mata, the relationship between the two outfits broke down as Real blamed Villarreal for neglecting to inform them the 25-year-old was suspended from a match the previous season while he was on loan at El Madrigal.

Having failed to prove his credentials in the capital, Cheryshev will now hope the move will provide the chances he needs to thrive with Villarreal and show Real what they're missing out on.
