December 25, 201014 yr Father: Canales not moving to EnglandThe father of Real Madrid youngster Sergio Canales is adamant that his son will not leave Spain for a loan spell in England.The precocious midfielder only made the switch to the Spanish giants from Racing Santander this summer but he has rarely featured in Jose Mourinho's first eleven lineup, prompting speculation that he could be shunted out on loan in a bid for more first-team action.However, his father Angel Canales, who also acts as his son's agent, has refuted claims that Canales junior will briefly ply his trade in England."To join a team like Real Madrid at the age of 19 is very demanding on all levels and you must have patience," said Angel Canales, according to talkSPORT."He is happy with his life in Madrid. Admittedly it would be better if he was playing more but it's a difficult situation and he must fight to change it."But we have decided that Sergio should continue to work for his chance at Madrid."Canales is regarded as one of Spain's hottest prospects and his displays with boyhood club Racing last campaign prompted Madrid to snap him up this season.

I came with enthusiasm and was aware that playing for a big team is very complicated, because there are great players and competition is high. So I have to try to exploit all my opportunities."With the team and the coach I am very happy. I wish I had more minutes, but you have to work hard."Canales rose through the ranks at Racing before Real snapped him up at the start of the campaign.
