Pedro Leon tipped for Valencia move

Reports emanating from Spain have linked out-of-favour Real Madrid midfielder Pedro Leon with a move to La Liga rivals Valencia.

Leon arrived at Real in the summer of 2010 for a fee of €10million, after establishing himself as one of Spain's hottest prospects in his time with Getafe.
However, Leon struggled to force his way into Real's star-studded line-up, and had to regularly play second fiddle to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil and Angel Di Maria.
With his chances of establishing himself at the Santiago Bernabeu looking increasingly bleak, especially with the arrivals of Hamit Altintop and Nuri Sahin, AS believes Valencia are keeping a close eye on the 24-year-old.
According to the publication, Valencia are looking for a new winger to replace veteran Joaquin, who has since left the club to join Malaga.
Leon's contract with Real runs until 2016, but Real could allow him to leave should they be able to recoup a significant portion of the €10m they splashed out on him.
