Young Spanish football sensation Sergio Canales has apologised to the fans of Racing Santander for posing in a Real Madrid shirt.
To the consternation of Racinguistas, Canales was pictured in the famous white shirt last week during an interview with Marca having completed a six-year deal with los Merengues last month.
While Madrid are understood to have coughed up €5 million for the 19-year-old, he will spend the remainder of this campaign and next season on loan with the Cantabrian outfit.
Canales insisted that he had not meant to cause any offence to the Racing supporters and admitted that he has been overwhelmed by the furore his transfer to the Bernabeu has caused.
"I understand that some Racinguistas, that the fans are upset, so I apologise. I stress that I am here to help Racing," he told a press conference.
"It's a new world for me and it's very difficult. What's done is done. But I'll face up to it, I will not hide. I know I made a mistake and that's it, so from all this I can learn and I have learned."

GOOOOOAL MILAN! And what a strike it was from Kevin-Prince Boateng! Here's our match commentator with the details:
"AC Milan go 1-0 up!
"Kevin-Prince Boateng is slid through on goal on the right side of the penalty area, chesting the ball down beautifully before smashing it in via the underside of the crossbar. A superb goal!"
