Real Madrid will not keep hold of Denis Cheryshev next season.

AS says Cheryshev will return to Real Madrid at the end of the season when his loan deal with Villarreal expires.

Despite his excellent season under Marcelino Toral, Real Madrid's sporting directors have no plans for the Russian born player to remain at the Bernabeu.

The plan is to now secure a fee for the player or use him as part of an exchange deal.
