The coentrao deal is just not going away. Real Madrid are still being strongly linked with the Portuguese left back and now reports have emerged that Real Madrid are ready to offer up to 25 million euros plus Drenthe to land Coentrao.
I would not mind one bit of losing Drenthe. Heck, I had even forgotten that he was a Real Madrid anymore. It feels like so long when I watched Drenthe play for Real Madrid. One thing is for sure, his time at Real Madrid is done. There is no way he can return to Real Madrid and expect a proper place in the squad let alone in the first team.
Real Madrid have been trying very hard to land coentrao for anything less than 30 million euros but Benfica just have not budged over their release clause price of Coentrao. That has seriously prevented the deal from happening. It will happen I think, I think Real Madrid will conjure up some more money for Coentrao.
Why? is another question. Certainly Real Madrid won’t spend 30 million euros on Coentrao to bench him or would they?. That is a question that we will deal with later. First Coentrao actually has to sign for Real Madrid.
Reports previously had said that Real Madrid were ready to Garay as a part of Coentrao deal but now are ready to cash in on Drenthe after Real Madrid received offers for him in the region of 10 million euros which is a lot for a crappy player like Drenthe.
His technique is just, so not good. I have not seen a Real Madrid with as bad technique on the ball as Drenthe’s. He can sometimes do some magic but those tricks are just the result of either watching TV or just training ground practice with practically no output.
Benfica were pretty interested in signing Drenthe last summer but for some reason Drenthe ended up in Hercules. Reports have said that Benfica’s interest in the player have not diminished. Well, take him Benfica I say. Take him away because at Real Madrid he has go no future. May be he will develop a bit at Benfica and just in case, Real Madrid might include a buy back option, aside from that, I do not see Drenthe playing for Real Madrid ever.
