Ujfalusi: Sergio Aguero wants to join Real Madrid

Argentine's team-mate has stated that the player has his sights set on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu giants

Tomas Ujfalusi has revealed to the Spanish media that Atletico Madrid team-mate Sergio Aguero wants to sign for Real Madrid next season.

The Argentinian frontman announced on his official website his intention to leave the Vicente Calderon, while the player also requested that the club respect his wish to further his career.

The Czech defender has stated that this is due to a desire from Aguero to move across the Spanish capital, telling Radio Sportiva. "For three or four months we [have] known he wanted to go. What is clear is [that] he has chosen to [go to] Real Madrid.

The 22-year-old has been at Atleti since joining from Independiente in 2006 and is the club's top scorer this season with 26 goals in all competitions.


'Kun' has been linked with moves to some of Europe's top clubs including Chelsea, Inter and Juventus, but Ujfalusi is certain that a move to the Santiago Bernabeu is imminent, and added that he is unsure as to what the fan response will be to such a transfer.

"We do not know how fans will react, because there is a great rivalry. It will be a difficult decision for him," he concluded.

Nuri Sahin to join Real Madrid

Borussia Dortmund have called a press conference for Monday in which the Bundesliga champions will confirm the sale of Nuri Sahin to Real Madrid, according to a German report


Borussia Dortmund will confirm the sale of Nuri Sahin to Real Madrid on Monday, according to German source Ruhr Nachrichten.

The German-born Turkish international has a clause in his contract stipulating that he can leave Signal Iduna Park for €10 million if he moves outwith Germany.

The report states that Sahin, his agent Reza Fazeli and Die Borussian officials will announce the transfer of the player to the Bernabeu at a press conference at the start of next week.

The 22-year-old has been a standout player for the newly crowned Bundesliga champions this campaign, and has been linked with a move away from BVB all season.

Jurgen Klopp's side seem to have been resigned to losing their prize asset, and the purchase of Ilkay Gundogan from Nurnberg is identified as an act to replace the outgoing player.

Mesut Ozil signs for Real Madrid (Photo Gallery)

21 years old Turkish footballer Mesut Özil signs for Real Madrid for 6 years.

During the presentation he said he was too happy to be Real Madrid the world best club.

"ı didn't know anything about my transfer up to yesterday but now i am so happy that the transfer ended with a happy ending."

He said it is not true that he would almost sign for Barcelona."Real Madrid was my only option because I wanted to play with the best ones.For me the best is Mourinho,I talked him and he persuaded me to come to Real Madrid."

Real Madrid still wants Mesut Ozil

Werder Bremen midfielder Mesut Oezil has once more come to the attention of Real Madrid after reports, denied by all involved in Germany, that Barcelona had agreed a fee.

Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, a keen admirer of Oezil, will try to capture the midfielder once more if a third striker can't be added to his ranks. The coach wants to allow more versatility for the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo to play up top if needed, according to Marca.

Unable to find a young striker good enough and at the right price, Oezil will be able to cover a wide range of positions across the midfield which Mou has taken note of.

The problem remains in coming up with a fee tempting enough for Bundesliga side Werder, a figure Marca have touted at around €25 million. This would put off most clubs for any player with one year left on their contract, unless there is further interest from Barcelona.

Both Mourinho and Pep Guardiola will unquestionably not want the other to have such a versatile asset, which could leave Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United the chance to trump the Spaniards with a bid neither can afford to match.

Oezil himself has been calm over the situation, stating he will remain at Werder Bremen, but next year's promise of a lottery for the player's service could force the hand of the most interested party before September.

Raul signs Schalke 04 -- Good bye el capitano

Raul Gonzalez Blanco Completes Move to Schalke 04

Real Madrid idol Raul Gonzalez Blanco has been presented as a player for German side FC Schalke 04. The forward has been confirmed to wear his favoured number seven shirt for the upcoming Bundesliga season. The all-time leading scorer at the Bernebau, Raul was welcomed at the Veltins Arena after having signed a two-year contract with his new club.

Schalke midfielder Hao Junmin has reportedly passed up the number seven shirt for the upcoming season, stating it would be an honour to allow the former Madrid captain to wear the number of his choosing. According to reports, the Chinese international will now play wearing the number eight shirt.

As 33 year-old Raul was unveiled as a Schalke player, he showed his delight at moving to last season’s Bundesliga runners-up. He said: "For me this is a very special day, as I'm leaving after 16 years at (Real Madrid). Now I have the desire to take on a new challenge. I come to a very competitive club that is playing in the Champions League and that is fighting for the Bundesliga. Schalke and their coach have shown their confidence in me and from the beginning showed great interest in making this a reality. This is an important challenge. I hope that the fans enjoy the team as well as me, and that we accomplish our goals that we have set for ourselves at the beginning of the season."

The Miners’ Club

Raul posed with two miners and a block of coal, as his new side, located near the mining area of Ruhrgebiet, is known as “The Miners’ Club." He revealed to reporters that he had decided on Schalke as his destination due to the interest the club had shown in him and because they had "what I want in terms of level of competition."

The former Spain international said he is "excited to play and work very hard. I hope that these two years are a marvellous experience. I am sure that everything is going to go very well. I want to score goals, but the most important thing is the team, not the personal objectives. It has been that way for me for the past 16 years."

At Schalke, Raul has been reunited with former Madrid teammate Christoph Metzelder. The 29 year-old German central defender moved to the Bundesliga side on a free transfer earlier this summer. Raul, also known as El Siete (The Seven, after his iconic shirt number), also commented on the possibility of meeting his former club in the Champions League. While he said there “is no clause in my contract that impedes me from playing against Madrid," he conceded that such an event would be “a very special one."

‘Great news’

Schalke coach Felix Magath told the club’s official website: “It's great news for FC Schalke 04, I am pleased that we have succeeded in signing such an exceptional footballer and world-class striker switching to the Bundesliga for Schalke 04. He will be an inspiration. His qualities will help us. His commitment is a crucial step in our efforts to strengthen the squad for future tasks, and to restructure. I look forward to working with this good professional."

The player had been with Real Madrid since joining their youth set-up in 1992. His 323 goals in 741 games aided his team to three UEFA Champions League titles and six La Liga Championships. He is also his country’s all-time highest scorer with 44 goals in 102 games for Spain.

The presentation had initially been set to take place behind closed doors, but due to the enormous press attention given to the Madrid legend’s arrival, Schalke fans were allowed access to cheer the arrival of "El Angel del Madrid."

Mourinho confirms Khedira 's buyout clause

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has confirmed that the club are looking to sign Stuttgart midfielder Sami Khedira.

The 23-year-old midfielder was one of the stars of the World Cup as Germany finished third, falling at the semi-final hurdle to eventual champions Spain. Now he has been identified as a key target for Mourinho, who says he wishes to sign one midfielder and one defender to add to the current squad.

It has been suggested that Khedira's buyout clause sits at a mere €10 million, which certainly wouldn't stretch Madrid's purse. "We're not going to be kings of the [transfer] market. I'll bet on the usual philosophy of Madrid, signing players with projection, with more room for learning.

We signed [Angel] Di Maria, who it's true that he was expensive [€30 million], but he has great potential, and we go for [Sami] Khedira, with a huge room for improvement. It is a market direction that I love," the Special One is quoted as saying by AS.

"We need a defender and a midfielder, but with balance and without dramatics. There is a great base from last season and that will give competition to the group. It is complicated, because when Madrid is interested in a player prices soar so astronomically."

Madrid have also captured Pedro Leon from Getafe, which suggests that if Khedira signs, a defender will be the final signing of the summer for los Merengues.

Mourinho efforts to buy Ashley Cole

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is preparing to increase his efforts to buy Chelsea star Ashley Cole, with hopes he will be able to pair him with Inter Milan defenderMaicon at the Bernabeu next season.

The former Chelsea manager believes having two of the world’s premier attacking full-backs will help bring out the best in Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka. Real's top-brass have provided the Portuguese self-proclaimed 'Special One' with £40 million to bring both defenders to Spain, according to the Daily Mail.

Mourinho brought Cole to Stamford Bridge from Arsenal in 2006 and hopes to take advantage of the left-back’s problems in England and lure him to La Liga.

The England international was condemned for his attitude after the Three Lions crashed out of World Cup 2010 and has become an unpopular figure after his split with wife Cheryl. Mourinho was also interested in Liverpool defender Glen Johnson, but prefers Maicon in the right-back position.

Chelsea interested in Kaka says Ancelotti

Ancelotti worked with the Brazilian at AC Milan and is open to the idea of signing him fromReal Madrid - who are now led by former Stamford Bridge manager Jose Mourinho.

The Italian told The People: "Kaka would do well for my cause and I speak to him on a regular basis. It would be a multi-million pound operation."

Meanwhile, Chelsea's latest signing Yossi Benayoun has singled out Rafael Benitez as the reason he left Liverpool for Stamford Bridge, accusing the Spaniard of trying to break him and treating him with a lack of respect.

Benayoun, who joined Chelsea for an undisclosed fee on July 2, blames Benitez - who has also left the club for Inter Milan - for his decision to leave Anfield.

He told the News of The World: "I made up my mind to leave a long time ago because of Benitez. He never treated me with the respect I deserved. If I played well, I never felt he gave me credit.

"When I scored, I still expected to be out of the team the next game. And when the fans wanted me to play, Benitez told me he couldn't understand why."

The 30-year-old continued: "There are many examples of him treating me badly. Last season, against Fulham and Lyon, the fans booed when I was subbed. They thought I was playing well but Benitez told me he was surprised they booed because I was not good enough.

"It was as if the fans' reaction worked against me. The situation got worse afterwards. He told me I was a better player as a substitute instead of starting in the team.

"I felt so unhappy but, out of respect to the club, I never spoke out. The players and the people at the top of the club knew how I felt.

"It is good for Liverpool he has gone, but it was too late for me."

S. Ramos:"Mourinho will land Gerard and A.Cole"

REAL MADRID star Sergio Ramos insists new Bernabeu boss Jose Mourinho will land Steven Gerrard AND Ashley Cole this summer.

Ramos, 24, who can play at centre-back or full-back, says the pair will follow in the footsteps of fellow Englishmen David Beckham and Michael Owen by joining the Madrid mega-club.

Mourinho, who has just won the Treble with Inter Milan, is a long-time admirer of Liverpool skipper Gerro and signed Cole from Arsenal when he was in charge at Chelsea.

And Ramos said: “We are a club that is always looking to improve by adding the best players in the world.

“We have a proven record of signing English players – with David and Michael – and it would not surprise me at all if our two new arrivals this summer were English. Ashley Cole is a terrific player.

“For me, he is by far the best left-back in the world and, along with Drogba, Chelsea’s best player.

“I am sure Chelsea will do all they can to keep him but he had a difficult year in England.

“A change might be what he is looking for. When a player is the best in his position in the world and doesn’t play for Real Madrid, you have to consider it a waste.

“He has done everything in England for Arsenal and Chelsea. It’s now time for him to come and win La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho.”

And it is the Portuguese boss who Ramos believes will seal the deal.

He added: “Jose will know all about him. He has a history of signing players and trying to sign players from his previous clubs.

“More importantly, players seem to love playing under him.

“I spoke with Cristiano Ronaldo about him – and he told me Cole is the toughest defender he has ever played against.

“That’s quite a compliment coming from the world’s best player and he is exactly the sort of player we want.”

As for Gerrard, Ramos thinks Liverpool’s lack of cash – and failure to win a major trophy in the past four seasons – will prove crucial.

He added: “I think Madrid’s admiration of Steven Gerrard is not a secret.

“He is at the point now where he needs to win things. I can guarantee that under this Real Madrid set-up he will win things. I really think both of them are Real Madrid-bound.”

Real Madrid confirms Di Maria deal

Real Madrid have confirmed they have reached an agreement with Benfica over the transfer of Argentina winger Angel di Maria.

His switch to the Bernabeu, on a six-year deal, is reported to be worth 25 million euros (£20.3m).

The 22-year-old, who is currently part of his country's World Cup squad, becomes Jose Mourinho's first signing since taking charge at Real last month.

Di Maria moved to Portugal in 2007 from Argentine side Rosario Central.

The attacking midfielder has started all four of his country's World Cup matches so far, playing on the left side of a central three - although he has not yet hit top form in South Africa.

Di Maria won the World Under-20 Championship with Argentina in 2007 and scored the extra-time winner against Holland in the final of the 2008 Olympic Games.

But he especially caught the eye of Europe's top clubs last season as he helped Benfica to a Portuguese league and cup Double.

Despite reported interest from elsewhere, Di Maria has opted to become the first player to join Mourinho in Madrid since the ex-Inter, Chelsea and Porto boss signed a four-year deal with the Spanish giants on 31 May.

Mourinho is interested in Schweinsteiger

According to the Spanish AS newspaper, Mourinho has put the 25-year-old German international on a shortlist of midfielders he wants to sign, along with Liverpool's Steven Gerrard , Roma's Daniele De Rossi and Athletic Bilbao 's Javi Martínez.
A fortnight ago, it was reported that Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti had alreadylined up Schweinsteiger as a replacement for Michael Ballack and was willing to make a £25-million bid to secure his signature.

Schweinsteiger was instrumental in Bayern Munich capturing the domestic double and reaching the Champions League final last season.
His three-million-euro-a-season contract at Bayern runs until 2012.

Kaka: Gerard must join Real Madrid

BRAZIL ace Kaka insists Steven Gerrard MUST join Real Madrid to win the trophies he deserves as one of the world’s best players.

Kaka, 28, who is in South Africa as part of Carlos Dunga’s squad, has the highest regard for Liverpool and England skipper Gerro and said: “He would get into any team in the world.”

And he believes a role within Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid revolution would see him win the trophies he craves.

“He is one of the few players in the world that has the ability to be a Madrid player,” said playmaker Kaka.

Gerrard, 30, has yet to decide his future after Liverpool finished only seventh in the Premier League last season. With no manager appointed since Rafa Benitez’s departure, Kaka added: “I would urge him to join Madrid.

“If you never play for Madrid, then there will always be something missing.

“There is no greater achievement than wearing the white shirt of Madrid.

“His next contract will be his last big one – and that’s a big choice not just financially but about what you can win.”

Mourinho (left) tried three times to lure Gerrard to Chelsea when he was boss.

And Kaka added: “I am sure Gerrard respects Jose a lot and Madrid would be the ideal move for him.”

Cristiano Ronaldo & Wayne Rooney exchange

REAL MADRID are ready to use Cristiano Ronaldo to lure Wayne Rooney to the Bernabeu.

SunSport had revealed yesterday how the Spanish giants have indentified the Manchester United striker as their No 1 target this summer and are ready to throw £150million at landing him.

Now they want to use his old United team-mate Ronaldo to help sell the club to his good friend.

Ronaldo joined Real last summer in a world record £80m move from United.

He has had a successful first season although the club are set to end up empty-handed.

Ronaldo knows Rooney could provide the spark needed to triumph domestically and in Europe.

They enjoyed a partnership which brought rich spoils to United including a League and European Cup double in 2008.

Real believe Ronaldo could help tempt Rooney to switch.

The Spanish giants will bid a world record £90m for the United striker while offering him a five-year deal worth £60m.

The £250,000-a-week deal matches the wages of Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.

Real have decided to make a move after going out of Europe in the first knockout round and now look set to miss out on La Liga title to Barcelona.

Real Madrid must buy Lionel Messi to stop Barcelona

Real Madrid was beaten again by Barcelona.We have to admit that Barca is a great team and the have great players;but Real Madrid have great players as well,than what makes the difference? Messi.
Real Madrid must transfer Lionel Messi and use him as a free attacing player.That will make Real Madrid better than Barcelona clearly.

Silva would reject Premier League for Real Madrid

David Silva has made a move to Real Madrid his number one choice if he leaves Valencia.

The Spanish international has long been a target for Liverpool and Manchester United, and it looks as though he could finally be on the move in the summer.

But whereas both Premier League giants could register an interest in the midfielder, it appears as though a stay in Spain’s La Liga is the more likely outcome.

AS claim Silva has emerged as a top target for Real, who are planning on shipping out Guti, Lassana Diarra and possibly Fernando Gago in the summer.

And the 24-year-old has reportedly set his sights on a move to the Bernabeu should be leave the Mestalla club, who would want around £20million for his signature.

Real Madrid to bid for Fabregas

Florentino Perez and Jorge Valdano have had discussions about making a £43 million offer for Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas.

The Sun reports that Barcelona are considering a £40m bid in the summer, but Los Merengues are ready to prevent the deal from happening by sweetening their offer with £25m-rated striker Gonzalo Higuain.

"The price demanded is £43m and that is what we are basing our calculations on," a Real insider told The Sun.

"This is 'Operation Cesc', which we hope will prove a blow to Barcelona."

La Blaugrana president Joan Laporta has in the past publically stated that he would like to bring Fabregas 'home' to Barcelona.

Is Nistelrooy going to Manchester City?

After failing to break into coach Manuel Pellegrini's side and having struggled with a host of injuries, Real Madrid striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy has been linked with a January transfer to Premier League side Blackburn Rovers.

According to The Sun, Rovers manager Sam Allardyce would be thrilled to have the ex-Manchester United man return to England while Bolton, Birmingham, Sunderland and Fulham are also reported to be interested in the Dutchman's services.

Van Nistelrooy has endured a difficult year of fitness problems, including a season-ending knee injury last year, and the 33-year-old is seeking regular playing time in his quest to earn a spot in the Dutch national team for next summer's World Cup in South Africa.

The player's agent, Barry O'Connor, has remained diplomatic about the transfer rumours, saying that it is a private issue until Real Madrid decide on Van Nistelrooy's future.
