Sergio Canales Madrazo born 16 February 1991 in Santander, Cantabria is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Madrid, as an attacking midfielder. A product of hometown Racing de Santander's youth ranks, Canales was bought by Deportivo de La Coruña – 50% of the player's rights – in 2006, as part of the deal which saw Pedro Munitis return to Cantabria. Dudu Aouate and Antonio Tomás were also involved, in the opposite direction.
On 12 February 2010, Real Madrid announced, ‘’Real Madrid and Real Racing Club Santander have reached a deal for the transfer of player Sergio Canales Madrazo. The contract will take effect as of 1 July 2010 and will keep Canales at Real Madrid for the next six seasons‘’.
The fee was believed to be €4.5 million plus incentives. On 4 August 2010, Canales made his debut for Real Madrid, scoring a goal in a 3–2 friendly win against Club América. His league debut came on 29 August, in a 0–0 draw against RCD Mallorca. Real Madrid legend Gento wished Canales all the best of luck and wished that "Canales wins many titles with Real Madrid just as I did."
Sergio Canales certainly did not leave Real Madrid and will play on next season under coach Jose Mourinho, the club's official statement on their website. Canales actually been brought in Los Merengues last season from Racing Santander. A few moments ago had proclaimed he would be loaned to Racing. But, the issue was not proven by this latest development. Canales plans to lend because he will have difficulty getting a place in the squad for Madrid's core since a very young age and many star players are scattered at the Santiago Bernabeu.
