Real Madrid's Fabio Coentrao joins Monaco on season-long loan
Last Updated: 26/08/15 6:33pm
Real Madrid have agreed to loan left-back Fabio Coentrao to Monaco for the remainder of the 2015/16 season, the two clubs announced on Wednesday. Portugal international Coentrao, 27, joined Real from Benfica in 2011 for 30m euros (£22m).
He helped Los Blancos to their last league title in his first season at the club and was also a part of the squad that won the Champions League in 2013-14, playing an hour of the 4-1 final win over arch-rivals Atletico Madrid.
However, he is now behind fellow left-back Marcelo in the La Liga club's pecking order and has also been hampered by a series of injuries, making only 17 appearances in all competitions last season. Monaco failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage after being beaten 4-3 on aggregate by Valencia in the qualifiers, despite winning Tuesday's play-off second-leg tie 2-1 in the south of France.
The principality club finished third in the league last season, and this time around have had a mediocre start with two draws and a win.
