			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.as.com/recorte/20090409dasdasftb_17/XLCO/Ies/Raul_Gonzalez_delantero_Real_Madrid.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="300" />Raul has already agreed  to be player of Schalke 04. 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.</p>
<p>The agreement between  Raul and the German club&#8217;s total, while the seven has requested more  time to announce his new post, which will not happen until you return  from vacation, on 15 July. 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.<br />
Deals.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s soccer. As exotic places like  Qatar. Even a team Calcio, the  top of the table, had asked for him.</p>
<p>But Raul has seduced more  than the offer of Schalke, who will compete in next season&#8217;s European  Cup, of which he is Madrid&#8217;s top scorer with 66 goals.</p>
<p>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 &#8230;</p>

The  captain, who is vacationing, White club will communicate its decision by  July 10 to determine not planning any sport (the team&#8217;s preseason  starts five days later.)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&#8220;What I want is to play,&#8221; said Raul. And that seems to make a Blackburn  Rovers, where his friend militates Salgado.</p>
<p><strong>OPTIONS</strong></p>
<p>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: &#8220;I do not mind living in the U.S..&#8221;</p>

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&#8217;s trip to Jordan by  a commitment to the Foundation aborted meeting.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s  accounts and not on this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.ilpallonaro.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/pedro-leon.jpg" alt="" width="330" height="330" />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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Another name for the core  is Stephane M&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>As for defense, Mou wants  a right-back Sergio Ramos is to plant. Maicon is complicated. Rafa Benitez&#8217;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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://slbenfica.planetaportugal.com/wp-content/gallery/david-luiz/david-luiz-7.jpg" alt="" width="307" height="215" />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 (&#8220;Our intention is not to sell  to us is very important&#8221;) 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.</p>
<p>If Madrid signed into  Portuguese, Mourinho would have to change the thinking that has over  Ramos. He wants to Camas in the  rear axle (&#8220;I love it as central,&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.<br />
More options.</p>
<p>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.<br />
Best defense 2010</p>
<p>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.</p>
