This way Real Madrid continues to “empty” its overflowing squad &
Milan get the young forward desired at the price of leaving Sevilla
FC Brazilian International forward Luis Fabiano where he is currently.
Real Madrid lose in the operation as earlier German side Stuttgart had
offered almost 20M€ to which the player refused to go. The need by
Madrid to cut its current squad members, get some cash in & its good
relationship with Milan have all contributed to get the operation to
good port. The player himself should be happy as AC Milan will be in
Champions & he can show his talents there to secure his place in the
Dutch national side for next years upcoming World Cup in South Africa.

REAL MADRID NEWS: XABI ALONSO IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS?

Spanish daily “Marca” puts on its cover that positions between
LIVERPOOL FC & REAL MADRID are getting closer, so much so that
according to the daily Liverpool has put a 48 hour deadline for the
Spanish Club to propose a “decent” offer for XABI ALONSO. The
desired price is reported to be around 30M€ + extras for incentives,
that is a reduction from the original asked price of 41M€.

Alonso has expressed to the Club that he desires to play at Real
Madrid & Liverpool has asked the player time to find a substitute
which apparently is AQUILANI from AC ROMA who has already
given his OK. Real Madrid desperately needs a player of Alonso´s
characteristics as they are weak in the play making & creative
midfield area as seen by their last two friendly games.

Staying with Liverpool FC, the signing of LIVERPOOL FC Spanish
International defender ARBELOA by REAL MADRID looks
imminent as well & is expected to be shut in the next days for
about 4M€

Lastly, while with Real Madrid, news is that AC MILAN is thinking
in HUNTELAAR.

REAL MADRID: TOTTENHAM & ARSENAL INTERESTED IN HUNTELAAR

Klauss Jan Huntelaar surprised everyone (again) when he withdraw
from his agreement to go to German Club STUTTGART a few days
back. The 25 year old forward wanted other options instead of
playing in the Bundesliga even if his salary at Real Madrid was to be
respected.

















The man had a hunch; a last opportunity that needed a brave decision
& it seems that he may have done the right thing in reference to his
own personal professional interests. From England we get news that
Premier League Club TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS has expressed their
interest in Huntelaar. But now there is more encouraging news for the
Real forward if we are to believe English paper “The Sun” which has
published that ARSENAL has entered in the push. According to the
daily Arsenal maybe about to offer REAL MADRID 19M€ for their
Dutch forward as they need to fill the position left open by the
departure of Adebayor to Manchester City.

For the moment Real Madrid have said that they have no formal offer
from either Tottenham or Arsenal on their desk, perhaps this may
change in the coming days. Stay tuned!

Meanwhile, STUTTGART look to another forward at REAL MADRID:
ALVARO NEGRERO. Spanish daily "Marca" publish that they offer 18M€
& see the Spanish player as the alternative to Huntelaar after the latter
rejected their offer Tweet

REAL MADRID: HUNTELAAR SAYS YES TO STUTTGART ( A FEW HOURS AGO!!!)

LATEST - 23.00hrs - Huntelaar has BROKEN the agreement with
German Club Stuttgart in the last moment, thus his transfer. The
man is in a mental mess, he is obviously hoping for other offers
from England (eg Arsenal or Tottenham) were he prefers to play
over Germany.
Stay tuned!

Yes, no, yes, no ...it’s now official as Spanish daily “Marca”has
announced that REAL MADRID Dutch forward KLASS JAN
HUNTELAAR has said YES to German Club STUTTGART for next
season. Real Madrid will receive 18M€ + 2M€ for player priority
achievements (top goal scorer, Champions, German League
winner, etc.). The Dutch forward was holding out for possible
interests from Tottenham & Arsenal but has favoured the German
team instead after the latter made a serious effort with equalling
his salary at Real.

Huntelaar becomes the third player to leave Madrid so far, he joins
SAVIOLA & JAVI GARCIA who have gone to Benfica. There are more
player departures expected to be happening in the coming weeks.

REAL MADRID: AGREEMENT CLOSE WITH STUTTGART FOR HUNTELAAR?

The latest speculation which is brought to the forefront of public
knowledge by Spanish daily “AS” is that REAL MADRID Dutch forward
KLASS-JAN HUNTALEER is closer to German Club STUTTGART more
than ever. Real Madrid has priced their forward between 20 – 25M€
& the German Club is said to have put on the table an offer that may
lead to a full agreement between Clubs. In the next hours or days
negotiations may accelerate to turn rumour into truth.

Having said this, there are other Clubs who also have Huntaleer on
their mind. One is English giant MANCHESTER UNITED team also
rumoured to be preparing an offer, along with French Club
OLYMPIQUE DE MARSEILLE who has come into the bidding with a
15M€ offer that although short maybe improved. However, the last
Club speculated to be showing interest is AC MILAN who has a
preferential option on Real Madrid players after their Kaká deal.
The Italian Club has Sevilla FC Brazilian International Luis Fabiano
as first option, but this operation is turning out to be more difficult
than expected, thus Huntelaar maybe their final choice. A choice
that will need to be backed with a higher bid than what AC Milan
originally have offered a week back when Real & AC Milan directives
met & left without agreement.

Conclusion, at this stage & with the consent of the player in
question Klass-Jan Huntelaar, the German Club Stuttgart is in the
driving seat at this moment. Stay tuned!

REAL MADRID: CHELSEA FC ENTERS THE PICTURE

It’s a natural solicitation & move. Once CHELSEA FC had announced
that Carlo Ancelotti was to be their next Coach it was to expect
that the English Club attempt to also lure his ex-Club star player,
KAKA. In fact, media stories comment that Chelsea FC Director
used his visit to Milan to sign Ancelotti to attempt to convince & sign
the Brazilian Star. This has made REAL MADRID nervous, BUT the
Spanish Club has an important advantage that may swash the
attempts of the Premier League Club.

REAL MADRID sent a representative to Rome to finally shut the
deal for KAKA with his representative & father Bosco Leite. The
player desires is to play for Real Madrid, plus a previous meeting
between Mr.Leite & Chelesea owner Roman Abramovich, according
to the English paper “The Times”, had ended with a firm NO.

Details of the Real Madrid offer have been published in the local
media, Kaka will have a 5 year contract were he will receive
9,250,000M€/season net, plus Real Madrid will own 50% of his
image rights. Real Madrid wishes to present the player this
THURSDAY, but the Chelsea "interference" & the fact that KAKA is in
Brazil with his national side may delay all the presentation plans.
As with the Opera, … “It aint finished until the fat lady sings”



Staying with Real Madrid - & nothing to do with Kaka - here is
a video of HUNTELAAR showing his other Football skill on
Dutch TV...hunting bicycles!:

HUNTELAAR WISHES TO LEAVE REAL MADRID ?

News Update:
Arnold Oosterveer , representative of Jan Klaas Huntelaar has commented
that his player has never said he wishes to leave Real Madrid. This “flash”
comes from Spanish daily “Marca” after rival daily “AS” published this
morning that the player had said the opposite.Read the below post for all the
story. Striker
___________________________________________________

Since arriving at REAL MADRID Dutchman HUNTELAAR has
played 151 minutes spread over 5 games, one of which he started from
the beginning. Added to this Coach Juande Ramos has´nt chosen
him for Champions & that has been a hard blow to take for the player.










Although the 25 year old says publically that he is happy to be at
Real Madrid & he knows he must win his place, according to Sapnish
daily "AS" privately its a different message. AS claims to have evidence
that the player has told his inner circle that he wishes to leave Real
Madrid. He not playing, the Coach does´nt have confidence in him
& not being chosen for the only Champions inscription has sank
Huntelaar. Before signing with Real , other major Clubs were interested
in his services like Arsenal, Chelsea & Juventus & he feels he may have
made the wrong choice.

Huntaleer faces tough competition upfront. Raul is untouchable, he
is a living "legend", Captain & shares representative with Coach Juande
Ramos. Gonzalo Higuaín is in brilliant form, he scored the winner on
Saturday against Racing & he is the Clubs leading goal scorer with 13
goals this season in League.

Tough & frustrating times for Huntelaar who was sold the idea that he
was Van Nistelrooy´s replacement & would play. Now reality is different
& must win his place & be patient.

Football can change over night, an injury to Raul or Higuain could
see him with his opportunity & he must exploit it to the maximum if it
comes his way. The easy thing to do is leave, then live for the rest of your
life knowing that you were never good enough for Real Madrid, a
haunting doubt one should avoid at all cost, & at least try to overcome
giving your best at least. Tweet

REAL MADRID WITHDRAWS ITS “SAT THREAT” & CHOOSE LASSANA DIARRA FOR CHAMPIONS

News has just come in via our local Sports daily’s (As & Marca) that REAL
MADRID has decided to withdraw its legal recourse from the “SAT”
(Sporting Arbitrage Tribunal) in reference to the inscriptions of
HUNTELAAR & LASSANA DIARRA for this years Champions League.

(courtesy of "AS")















SFS wishes to recall that Real Madrid signed both players thinking they were
eligible for this years Champions League tournament , to find later that UEFA
only allows one to participate (article 17.18) . Real thought they were in the
right & UEFA in the wrong – or at least make it seem that way - & decided
to argue the case all the way to the SAT & thus overturn the UEFA rule.

Today Real Madrid decided not to continue with this legal course & accept
the UEFA rule of only inscribing one player. That player will be LASSANA
DIARRA who has convinced Coach Juande Ramos to be the more suited
player for his team scheme. Huntelaar will no doubt be disappointed as he
was sold the idea that he would play Champions & will now have to wait.
It seems Real Madrid wishes to avoid a direct confrontation with UEFA over
this issue, & continue with its good relations. The move seems to be a wise
decision with a more logical mid to long term view dominating over a
short term position. Tweet
