AC Milan offered a Loan deal with a buy out option after a year for "the beast", but the Brazilian international Copa America winner has decided to turn down the loan deal. As expected he joined the rest of the team who are in training in Germany.
Baptista claimed that he talked to Schuster and got an assurance that he will be there in his plans for the season. Real would not have been interested for yet another loan deal for the Brazilian as the first loan deal with Arsenal did not go well. The exchange deal fell through and Reyes joined rivals Athletico.
Real have a habit of signing players who may not even fit the squad or playing style and then loaning them out. In the past few seasons there are numerous names such as Woodgate (loaned to Middlesbrough after recovery from injury), Pablo Garcia, Carlos Diogo, Javier Portillo, Roberto Soldado to name a few.
Woodgate completed a permanent switch, so did Portillo. Real have brought back Soldado and loaned out Garcia again.
Real paid a huge sum of money to price out Baptista from Sevilla couple of seasons back. What sense does it make after that to loan him out season after season, paying his salary which is the usual case in a loan deal. Its time this nonsense is stopped. Keeping the squad tight and happy.
