Official: Real Madrid Announce Raul De Tomas As Third 2019/20 Departure

After spending more than €300 million on five new players in this window, Real Madrid's third departure has now officially been announced.

Click through the mini-gallery above to see all of Real's departures so far in this window.

Los Blancos have bought Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo Goes ahead of the 2019/20 campaign, and Zinedine Zidane reportedly still wants to add another midfielder.

However, the Spanish giants are now busy with getting players off their wage bill, and striker Raul de Tomas is the latest to leave the club.

"Real Madrid C. F. and SL Benfica have reached an agreement for the transfer of Raul de Tomas," a statement on the Spanish club's official website read.

"The club wish to thank Raul de Tomas for his commitment since joining the youth team, and wish him all the very best in this new chapter."

De Tomas has signed a five-year contract with Benfica, who have confirmed that they paid €20 million (R319 million) for his services and included a €100 million (R1.6 billion) release clause in his contract.

The 24-year-old came through Real's academy and scored 14 LaLiga goals while on loan at Rayo Vallecano last season.

He made just one appearance for Los Blancos, and was loaned out to Cordoba, Real Valladolid and Vallecano in previous campaigns.
