Real Madrid Transfer News: Javier Hernandez Return, Gianluigi Donnarumma Rumours

Real Madrid director Santiago Aguado has said he would welcome a potential return to the Santiago Bernabeu for Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez.

The Mexico international has flourished in Germany since moving to Bayer from Manchester United in 2015, netting 22 Bundesliga goals in 34 appearances, per WhoScored.com.

In 2014-15, the season before he left Old Trafford permanently, Hernandez spent a term on loan with Real, and Aguado revealed he would like to see the 28-year-old back in Madrid, per Fox Sports (via Goal’s Stephen Darwin): “Yes, I’d like to see Chicharito back at Real Madrid as we feel that he is an excellent player.”

Hernandez is a born finisher and has scored goals regularly throughout his entire career, even when he was only played from the bench during periods at United.

In his season at Real, he netted seven goals in 859 minutes of La Liga action, per WhoScored.

Since moving to Leverkusen and starting regularly, he has flourished into one of the most dangerous strikers in Europe, per BT Sport Football:
