The Spanish champions had announced the possible signing of German International Christoph Metzelder last week. Metzelder is in Spanish capital and has completed his medical today, though the club website mentioned that he passed it with flying colors, the club doctor has mentioned that he is a player to look out for as he has had two surgeries on his Achiles Tendon. He is prone to injuries and relapse and hopefully this is not a repeat of the Woodgate Saga. But Madrid would feel safe financially as Metzelder is a free transfer.
Now in terms of having some cover Madrid today announced that Pepe from FC Porto has signed a 5 year deal with Real. He is Brazilian by birth but a naturalized citizen with Portugal and has flourished a good defender after Mourinho left Porto. Porto was recently crowned Champions in Portugal and Pepe played a major part in it. The tall lanky defender is supposed to come to Madrid with a good reputation and he is just 24 years old. Madrid is heard to have splashed out 19M for Pepe.
Being a big Madrid fan i am happy to see the club investing money in acquiring some good talent in the defensive side.
