Real Madrid starlet Raul de Tomas in high demand

Spanish daily newspaper Marca understands that several La Liga clubs are looking at Real Madrid youngster Raul de Tomas.

The 23-year-old has been with los Blancos since 2004, but he has so far just made one Copa del Rey appearance for the Spanish big guns.

However, having impressed during loan stints with Cordoba, Real Valladolid and Rayo Vallecano, Raul de Tomas is being linked with a summer exit.

Valencia and few more top clubs have expressed interest in his services, which is hardly surprising when we know that the striker managed 20 goals in 26 Segunda Division appearances this season.

With De Tomas unlikely to be given a chance to shine at Santiago Bernabeu, he is expected to follow in the footsteps of Mariano Diaz and look for his opportunity to secure regular top-flight football elsewhere.
