New Coach José Mourinho has commented on Spanish media that he considers Real Madrid player & Spanish International SERGIO RAMOS as a Central Defender & he always works all his teams have 2 players per Right & Left Back positions. Thus with Arbeloa & Marcelo currently with Real, Mourinho wishes Maicon & as posted below Kolarov
With this as general public knowledge, Inter Milan with attempt to squeeze every Euro out of Real Madrid for Maicon. The 29 year old Brazilian International is also wanted by Manchester City who are said to have entered the picture & this will not doubt increase the asked selling price. Real Madrid thinks that 25M€ is a fair price while Inter Milan is thinking more along the lines of 35M€. Mourinho is insisting, independently of the rising price, that Maicon is a TOP PRIORITY. Stay tuned!
Staying with REAL MADRID, the almost now “sensationalist” Spanish Sports daily “Marca” publish with front cover & old rumour that again begins to gain strength. According to the paper the Spanish Club has ideas to lure away from LIVERPOOL FC Captain STEVEN GERRARD. Coach Jose Mourinho enjoys having with him players entering their “twilight” & with lots of experience & he believes he can get some great mileage out of the English International. The operation would be difficult, but the economic problems at Liverpool could open the door.
I am sure that these are just two names of many more that will be appearing in the coming weeks. Summer is ripe for rumours & speculations in the Football World, just as Summer is ideal for the breeding of mosquitoes!Tweet

Inter Milan Right Back Defender & Brazilian International MAICON is on everyone’s list of players that hints that Real Madrid will make a serious attempt at tying up for next year.
But there is another firm candidate that is gaining "favourite status" as the days go by & is also a speculated Mourinho request. Lazio Left back Defender & Serbian International KOLAROV is the chosen player that many think Real Madrid will also be making a firm offer & a very serious attempt to get over to Madrid. The 24 year old player is considered to be a “Roberto Carlos proto-type” sharing profile qualities such as strength, speed & powerful shooting capabilities.
Stay tuned, & keep following to see if Real Madrid is finally successful is convincing Lazio to sell their defender. Meanwhile here is a video of the Serb in action:
REAL MADRID via one of its main sponsors release this TV spot to coincide with the launch of the new 2010-2011 uniform, & while at it, heal some hurt pride suffered during season 2009-2010 & restore faith in the Club for the new upcoming season under Coach José Mourinho. Part of this is, of course, continued Marketing & brand consolidation as this video goes viral as it’s passed around by interested & fans alike. I post it up here for the interested Spanish Football Sports Blog readers around the World who follow the Club & may get a pleasant kick out of watching it. The motive is purely informative as I know that I indirectly give a hand to the Sports Company which is not my intention, but succumb in the greater interest.
The Video shows Club members recalling the glorious history of the Club from the 60s right up till now finishing with the slogan “Together We Are Bigger” , then a few seconds showing off the new look uniform. It’s in Spanish but its fairly “universal” …
The Sports company can find my email & send me the cheque asap :O)
