Santander, Spain (My Sportsbook) - Racing has confirmed that it has agreed to season-long loan deals for Barcelona's Henrique and Newcastle United's Xisco. Henrique moved to the Camp Nou from Palmeiras last summer before being loaned to Bayer Leverkusen. The 22-year-old central defender featured in 27 Bundesliga games for Bayer but failed to impress Pep Guardiola on his return to Barca. Meanwhile, Xisco struggled on Tyneside last term following his transfer from Deportivo. The 23-year-old featured in only nine matches for the Magpies as they suffered relegation from the Premier League. (Courtesy of sportbox.tv) |
