Gesch Rooney, German club representative, met last Friday with a great captain in Menorca, where the player spends his summer vacation, to tell the project and occupy the place it Raul. But the alma mater of the operation, according to AS has been told, is being Jörg Neubauer, the agent who brought Metzelder to Real Madrid and at the end of this campaign took him to own Schalke.

Therefore, his march to the Bundesliga will not be official until that date. The preliminary agreement it has reached with the Schalke player is for two-year contract, claiming four million gross for each of them.
Deals.

Raul has been appreciating with his family during the last few days the various offers she has received. Ferguson was interested in it (had several conversations with his agent), as Blackburn Rovers, who pushed hard, but now finds itself in a process of sale and interest has waned. Offers have also come from almost every American MLS teams, and this was a very appealing option for women’s soccer. As exotic places like Qatar. Even a team Calcio, the top of the table, had asked for him.

But Raul has seduced more than the offer of Schalke, who will compete in next season’s European Cup, of which he is Madrid’s top scorer with 66 goals.

Raul Madrid will exit through the front door. Mourinho has been reminded to stay and thus had a meeting with him upon arriving in Madrid, the same day of submission of the Portuguese coach. But the captain has been more the sense of responsibility. He knows that he will own and prefer to make way for the young talents are pushing hard. The July 15 events precipitated …

Raul’s future is in the air, although there is less to know. The captain, who is vacationing, White club will communicate its decision by July 10 to determine not planning any sport (the team’s preseason starts five days later.)

Before leaving with his family, Raul had the opportunity to speak to Mourinho, who made it clear that he has to be your Materazzi. And the 7 still pondering what to do. AS reported last March 19 that the player would not put obstacles to leave Madrid this summer. Do not want to be a drag, but the entity has in its hands the choice to continue with the year of his contract remaining or leaving. And although it has not yet announced if he continues in Madrid (17th season would be his target) or not, deals not go missing. As yesterday reminded the British Daily Express, Manchester United came to consider the signing of Raul if the player decided to leave the club Real Madrid but eventually dismissed because of his age. The idea of signing blank master technician would match the Red Devils, Sir Alex Ferguson, a great admirer of the player.

“What I want is to play,” said Raul. And that seems to make a Blackburn Rovers, where his friend militates Salgado.

OPTIONS

The competitive gene captain, he still remains one year contract, is to look at the Premier welcomed, as the Bundesliga, where Schalke 04 also has strong call to your door. The other option is to move to the Major League Soccer. His name has been linked to Los Angeles Galaxy and New York Red Bulls, a prospect that pleases his wife Mamen Sanz: “I do not mind living in the U.S..”

The signing of the Madrid Di Maria will take office this week if there are no last minute complications. Luis Filipe Vieira, president of Benfica, planned to travel to Madrid on Friday to meet with Florentino and closing the transaction, but the white president’s trip to Jordan by a commitment to the Foundation aborted meeting.

Still remains a fringe is made for the transfer of the Argentine official, although, as previously reported by AS, there is agreement between the clubs since 16 June. The final price would be EUR 25 million and Argentina have signed for five years.

The Madrid club have yet to sign the agreement Vieira (in the neighboring country said yesterday that it might not even be necessary to move to the capital of Spain) and communicate it to the National Securities Market, which will be to give officers the handover, the figures communicate signing.

In Portugal it is believed that the president wants to wait embodied in early July (Thursday is day 1) because the transfer of Di Maria would then be reflected in next year’s accounts and not on this.

El Corriere dello Sport claims that Manchester City are prepared to offer 18 million euros for the left side of Lazio, which calls for 25.

“Between Madrid and Kolarov nothing will be done,” assured the agente.Mientras, the Corriere dello Sport says there is interest from Manchester City for the Serbian international.

According to this information, the City would be willing to offer 18 million euros for Kolarov, an amount that is still far from the 25 that calls for the Lazio for him.

The transfer of Maicon to Real Madrid seems a matter of hours. 48 hours, according to a report on Tuesday’s La Gazzetta dello Sport  which assures that only two million separate the Brazilian international side of the Bernabeu.

In Italy say that in the last hours have been no further contacts between Florentino Perez and Massimo Moratti, president of Real Madrid and Inter Milan to try to unlock a signing that takes weeks on a siding. According to various reports, the two leaders contacted by telephone on Monday to close positions. Real offer 28 million euros, while the Inter requests 30.

However, in Italy everyone is sure to progress Maicon Madrid. The player has made clear his desire to return to work under Jose Mourinho and Inter know that is usually not profitable to retain a player against his will.

Aitor Karanka has happened this morning at the offices of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium to initial the signature of his new contract as assistant to Jose Mourinho.

The Vitoria becomes the fourth assistant which incorporates the following Portuguese Rui Faria (fitness coach), Jose Morais (TA) and Silvino Louro (goalkeeping coach). His signing is desired by the Luso coach to have someone on his staff who knew perfectly how to work at the club.

Karanka acted as assistant in the selection Ginés sub’17 Menendez, besides being responsible for the sub’16.

Real Madrid will not pay outrageous amounts for the signings. This is the decision taken by its leaders yesterday. Mourinho agrees that you can not do crazy by Maicon, Gerrard, Kolarov and Di Maria. With the price of one of them can sign up to three players interesting.

In the list of candidates to strengthen the midfield highlights the name of Pedro Leon, who has a clause of 10 million euros. Band is a player with quality and goal. And Spanish. It would be more affordable than Jesus Navas or Di Maria, surely.

Another name for the core is Stephane M’Bia. The first petition of Jose Mourinho was Steven Gerrard. It contrasted a player, but is 30 years old and receives a high tab. You think of other options such as M’Bia, Cameroon Olympique Marseille, which is playing at a high level. A Mou likes. Could go for 20 million euros, but has several girlfriends and among them is Arsenal Wenger.

As for defense, Mou wants a right-back Sergio Ramos is to plant. Maicon is complicated. Rafa Benitez’s arrival at Inter may hinder the negotiations. This, added to the 35 million calls Moratti, strongly suggest that you have to watch another player. The Dutchman is preferred Ajax Gregory van der Wiel. Curiously, he also likes to Barça, but the Real Madrid because he attracts more at the Bernabeu would holder.

Benfica has practically closed a deal with Marcos Alonso, Real Madrid’s youth squad, and that the operation would be part of Di Maria, Argentine club end target is about to close, according to the Portuguese daily ‘Record’. Luso club president Luis Filipe Vieira, was met with Marcos agent to finalize the transaction.

However, Marcos is not the only player who can serve as bargaining chips by Di Maria, whose buyout clause is 40 million euros. According to ‘Record’, midfield and strikers Pablo Sarabia Alipio Rodrigo and may also enter an operation that assumes the newspaper closed.

David Luiz is the alternative chosen by Jose Mourinho in case failure of the signing of Maicon. Moratti has been intransigent about selling the right side (“Our intention is not to sell to us is very important”) and sees that his move to Madrid can encyst. No time to lose and David Luiz are thought to strengthen the defensive zone. Upon arrival, Mourinho gave his name for not doing what the Brazilian.

If Madrid signed into Portuguese, Mourinho would have to change the thinking that has over Ramos. He wants to Camas in the rear axle (“I love it as central,” he said), but if David Luiz was the signing, Ramos would have to play it or yes on the right side with Arbeloa, Pepe would be plants, Albiol, Garay (if not included in the operation Di Maria) and David Luiz and Marcelo would have left and Kolarov. Two for position as Mourinho wants.

At present, the Madrid is considering the market. They are aware that Benfica want to cash this summer and could use the money. Although Portuguese is the clause of 50 million euros, the player’s starting price would be around 30 million euros, which it offered in England. Real are not even willing to pay that amount. Its negotiation would be around 20 million euros.

The following Madrid David Luiz since last winter, which was when Pepe was injured. They saw it as a target for the winter market, but the response of plants that were in the club was so remarkable that it was necessary to strengthen the position in January.
More options.

The club is not the only target that has been interested in football. Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Inter and Milan have asked about him. But the Madrid Benfica expected to have preferential treatment to them, as the white club had it with all the Portuguese at the time. Saviola and Javi Garcia were there in excellent conditions and expect trading now David Luiz is advantageous.
Best defense 2010

David Luiz has been instrumental this year in the successes achieved by Benfica. It has been champions and have chosen as the defender of the year in Portugal. He has played 49 matches and scored four goals.

In England insisted that Manchester United want to sign Diarra Lass. According to the British press, Sir Alex Ferguson sees the French ideal player to give consistency to his midfield and is prepared to submit a major bid for Lass: 27 million euros.

As our colleague Paul Polo reported last April 29 in MARCA, Lass continues to maintain a good sign in the Premier competition I went to Chelsea, where he came under Jose Mourinho, “the Arsenal and Portsmouth, club from which the leap to Real Madrid on January 1, 2009 in exchange for 20 million euros.

Lass was part of the France team that will compete in the next World Cup, but a genetic disease that prevents altitude training has been left out of the final list of Raymond Domenech.
