Saviola joins Real Madrid


Argentine international striker Javier Saviola becomes yet another on the list of traitors who have joined Real Madrid from Barcelona.

Real have confirmed the signing and presented Saviola on Friday. Madrid are thinking wisely and though they have been criticized for their huge spending on defender Pepe, the 3 other signings they have made have all been free transfers. Christoph Metzelder, Dudek and now Saviola have all arrived for free.

Saviola has signed a 4 year deal with the Spanish champions. New coach Shcuster was keenly interested in the services of the 25 year old saying that "he is a cross between Raul and Owen" when it comes to playing style.

There have been 8 players leaving Madrid, including Beckham, Carlos and now the confirmed transfer of Raul Bravo. Raul Bravo having played with Real from 1996 has confirmed joining Olympiakos.

Real are also positive to complete the deals of Reyes on a permanent basis next week as well as one of the most talked about transfers that of Arjen Robben from Chelsea.
