Real Madrid defender Fabio Coentrao is close to returning to the championship of Portugal.

Sporting in the near future should complete negotiations with Real Madrid regarding the rental of Fabio Coentrao for one season.

Prior to the transition to Real Madrid, the Portuguese played for Benfica and moved to the Madrid club in 2011. In recent years Coentrau's career has been on the decline, which forced him to seek new career options.

The clubs already agreed on the details of the deal and in the near future the lease should be officially announced.

On the Coentrao account 6 matches and 1 assists in the last season.
