Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon told today that coach Schuster is going to be very happy, as he is definitely going to have a team to compete for all the titles. He also said that in the next week or so Madrid would be revealing at least 3 more signings.
Kaka: For some reason the President still fuels the speculation even when Milan and Kaka have clearly mentioned that there is no more to discuss about Real. Madrid President is letting Kaka know that the Spanish champions have been interested in him for at least couple of years and that if the player tells the Italians giants they may re think their stance on him. Calderon must be so desperate with the snub on the reportedly huge 80M advances that he is playing some mind games. He said "Milan does not want to sell and we cannot talk further".
Robben: The President claimed that since Robben has a clear desire to play for Madrid it would not be a problem to complete the transfer and that Madrid would see Robben's dream fulfilled.
Inesta: Inesta has a 60M buy out clause in his contract and there was a rumour a couple of weeks back that Real are ready to pay Barca the 60M to sign Inesta after their bid for Fabregas failed. Well asked about this he said that the coach and the board like Inesta but nothing further.
Well repeatedly questioned on the names of the possible signings Calderon claimed that he is not going to name anyone and that the press would know only few hours before the signing. He said that the rumors spread by the press is blowing up the cost of players. Concluding that Real want the best player but at the minimum cost.
One of the reporters asked him jokingly "So why pay 30M for Pepe, we did not hike up his price". Calderon responded by saying " Have you seen him play?" Well Madrid lost 0-3 to Hannover 96 in Germany and is now in Russia participating in a tournament as a part of the 170 years of Russian railways. The other teams are PSV, AC Milan and hosts Lokhomotiv Moscow. It needs to be seen how Madrid fares here. It should never be the name but it should be the game that matters....
