Eintracht Frankfurt expect defender Jesus Vallejo to be recalled by Real Madrid in the summer. Vallejo, 20, is on loan at the Bundesliga club, who are keen to retain his services for the 2017-18 season. "I believe that Real will recall him, have him train with the squad and then make a decision whether to send him on another loan or keep him," Eintracht's sporting director Bruno Hubner told Frankfurter Rundschau. "That might very well be. But it's a fact that Jesus has a clear structure. I have rarely met a player with a clearer mind and idea what he wants. He's very, very far. "And he's only 20, and this could also play an important role. He will not allow them to send him on loan somewhere." Vallejo has been one of the breakout players in Bundesliga this term, playing a key role in Frankfurt's rise to third in February. He has played in only two of Eintracht's recent six matches without a win, and is expected back in their meeting with Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday. In January, Vallejo said he has not had any contact with Real coach Zinedine Zidane and added that he does not know if he will return to the Spanish club at the end of the season.
