Jesus Vallejo will continue developing at the Commerzbank-Arena.

On Tuesday, Eintracht Frankfurt signed Vallejo from Real Madrid on a season-long loan, marking the second straight campaign in which Los Blancos have shipped out the teenage defender.

Vallejo, 19, spent last season on loan at Real Zaragoza, where he tallied 20 appearances in the Liga Adelante before a hamstring injury brought an end to his campaign in April.

Real Madrid will be hoping that Vallejo, one of the most promising defenders in Spanish football, can replicate the German path that was taken by Dani Carvajal, who worked his way into Los Blancos' squad after some time at Bayer Leverkusen.
