SPANISH FOOTBALL & TRANSFER NEWS

Spanish daily "Marca" mention that the
REAL MADRID negotiations with Man.
Utd for Dutch International RUUD
VAN NISTELROOY may be finally
shut within the next 24-48 hours.

Bayern Munich is in there fishing
around, but the player wants to play
in Madrid.

Man. Utd is obviously trying to get the
highest price possible & is negotiating
hard. I bet its using the Bayern card to try to beef up the price,
but the player has said he will not turn up to the English club
for training...typical stand off tactic in play.

As usually if one talks of Real, you must
also mention Barça. Its rumoured that
F.C. BARCELONA is making a bid for
PATRICK VIERA.
The deal with Juventus would be
10,000,000€ + player Motta.
Viera has a foot already in
INTER MILAN, but has suddenly
halted that process, which has given
fuel to the "Marca" news piece.

Lastly, VILLAREAL draw 1-1 away to
MARIBOR in the 2º leg INTERTOTO
competition.
This was a bad result as Maribor won
1-2 away at Villareal & thus gave them
the goals to continue onward at the
expense & elimination of the
Spanish Club.
