Juventus Directors In Madrid For Drenthe

News

He became too cocky I think, thats the reason he was not able to perform, he always tried too much

Reports in Italy claim that the Bianconeri are after the Los Merengues star and he could arrive in Turin as part of a loan deal.

Drenthe doesn’t seem as if he will enter Bernd Schuster’s plans for next season and Juve are ready to pounce.

It is believed that Ramon Calderon is not willing to sell the player but the Old Lady will be looking to take him on loan and SportMediaset claims Drenthe could be on his way to Serie A as early as next week as Bianconeri officials are already in Madrid to hold talks with the Santiago Bernabeu side.

The Bianconeri are currently looking for a midfielder for next season but so far they have failed to land their targets.

Drenthe would be a much easier option for the Turin based club and a loan move will suit both Real and the Italian giants.

The versatile midfielder can play in central midfield or out on the left wing and this would be an advantage for Claudio Ranieri as Drenthe would provide cover for Pavel Nedved to play in a more offensive role.

No Madrid Bid For Ben Arfa-Lyon

News

Is he a liar, I dont know but what I do know is I do not like the look on his face

Lyon have denied ever receiving a bid from Real Madrid for Hatem Ben Arfa, despite the 21-year-old winger - who joined Marseille this week for an undisclosed fee - claiming that Real Madrid had tried to sign him.

Ben Arfa further claimed that Lyon had favoured his moving to the Bernabeu as they would benefit more financially from that transfer.

But Lyon dispute that secenario.

A statement on the club’s official website said: “Olympique Lyonnais are keen to confirm that we have never had the slightest contact with Real Madrid concerning the transfer of Hatem Ben Arfa, and therefore never ’sent’ representatives from the Spanish club to see Ben Arfa.

“OL can confirm that only two clubs showed an interest in signing the player: Marseille and Paris St-Germain.

“President Jean-Michel Aulas informed the player of this in order to find out his choice, which was Marseille.”

Ronaldo To Real Madrid, Baptista To Roma - Bronzetti

 News

How can Bronzetti be sure about this Ronaldo to Real Madrid thing

The Giallorossi are currently snooping around for a striker in order to add some much needed fire power up front.

Baptista seems like he is on his way out of the Santiago Bernabeu and Roma are currently making enquiries regarding the Brazilian’s availability.

Bronzetti is confident that Baptista’s move to Roma will open the door for Ronaldo to leave Manchester United and join Los Merengues.

” Baptista is a player who Roma are interested in but I cannot say whether or not the club will sign him,” Bronzetti told Centro Suono Sport.

“Real are ready to sell the player because they are trying hard for Cristiano Ronaldo.

“In the end, Ronaldo will certainly arrive in Madrid. The Galacticos have too many strikers and so one of them is set to leave.

” Baptista wants to leave Real and thus Ronaldo is likely to go to Madrid.”

Real are on red alert for Ronaldo who has stated his desire to join the Santiago Bernabeu outfit.

However, United have played hard-ball over the whole affair and whether the player does move remains to be seen.

Roma meanwhile wouldn’t mind Baptista but his high wages may put the club off from pursuing any interest in him.
