on Football called “Punto Pelota” gave us the exclusive weeks back
via its presenter Josep Pedrerol that REAL MADRID had AC ROMA
midfielder DE ROSSI in mind for next season. The popular journalist,
backed by his regular panel of local Football “in the know” journos &
personalities, assured that the Real Madrid technical staff see a need
to reinforce their midfield with a player of De Rossi’s
characteristics. It was further acknowledged that the signing of the
AC Roma player would be a difficult affair because he is a vital
piece for the Italian Club & that his market price may get out of the
logic bounds, bearing in mind that Real Madrid – just by name –
inflates the market.

Well, last night on the same show, Josep Pedrerol again gave an
"exclusive" on his program & mentioned that Real Madrid has a Plan
B in case De Rossi did not eventuate. The chosen player is the 21
year ATHLETIC DE BILBAO midfielder JAVI MARTINEZ who many
cite as the “next big thing” to explode in Spanish Football. His
characteristics have lead to comparisons with French International
Patrick Viera but with more goal scoring abilities. The youngster
not only has the remarkable ability in destroying the opposition
attacking play-making he also is able to get himself rapidly into an
attacking position to score goals, with the head being one of his
main weapons.
The news source comes from “insiders” when Real Madrid & Athletic
Bilbao top officials celebrated heir protocol lunch together before
both teams meet in their last “Liga” game at “San Mames”. There
Real Madrid President Florentino Perez asked directly his Bilbao
counterpart for the player & his conditions. The player has a contract
release clause of 30M€ which is accessible for Real & would give a
grand profit to Bilbao who signed the player for 6M€.
Stay tuned. SFS will be following this lead throughout the coming
months. Tweet
