I may be be a bit slow on the uptake here, but why would you sign someone on a permanent contract, who had been on loan to you since August, just to then loan him out to another club? It seems to be a long winded way to get a loan player from Atletico Madrid.

BBC Sport understands he will be loaned out to former club Atletico Madrid next month, with Italy winger Alessio Cerci, 27, arriving from the Spanish side.
