Esteban Granero is a product of Real Madrid's youth system. His rise at the Club was fast ever since he played in the Brunete Under-13 Tournament. He played for Real Madrid C in the 2005/06 season, being one goal short from getting promoted to the Second Division B. His excellent performances got him promoted to Castilla, with whom he stood out in the Second Division. He was loaned out to Getafe last season, with whom he played much in Spain and Europe. He scored a goal in the King's Cup final against Valencia.
