“Diarra is on holiday in America right now,” Bronzetti told Marca. “However, as soon as he is back, he’ll find an agreement with Milan.”

Madrid were credited with an interest in Isla's services earlier in the summer, and the 24-year-old has not lost hope that he will play his trade at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"I have faith in what I am and I know that I will play at Real Madrid," he told Terra Chile.

Well if he performs like a Top 2-3 player in his position for us ,it would greatly benefit us,only then will Madrid come calling and then maybe we will rip you off for an inflated price..Win-Win situation for us

Marca:

José Mourinho will meet face to face with several players whose futures at Real Madrid are uncertain. The case of Pedro León, who continues with Getafe, is settled. However, there are four others whose fates are unclear (Lass Diarra, Gago, Carvalho and Altintop) and they all have an appointment on 15th July at the club’s Real Madrid training facilities.

Although Real Madrid currently has 24 players in its squad, Mou will bring up Jesús and possibly Morata, meaning that, in addition to the two planned signings, he will have to make room in the squad for the newcomers.

Pedro León, who still has a four-year contract with Real Madrid, will remain on loan to Getafe for another season. However, the futures of four others are yet to be decided. There is Gago, who was on loan to Roma with a purchase option, but the Italian club has not followed through on the offer.

The other three are in a similar situation. They have valid contracts and formed part of the first squad last season: Carvalho, whose contract Mou renewed last year; Lass, punished at the end of the season and banned from playing due to a clash with the coach; and Altintop, non-existent virtually all year. The three of them are waiting to get their marching orders.

Despite Alonso not being agile, I think he did well for Spain at Euro 2012.

Just shows he plays better with other passers around him.

He was really mobile, saw him on the wing too.

With Piszczek and Marcelo bombing down the wings?

What's the big fuss about Javi Martinez anyway, I don't think he'll add a lot to the team at the 40 million euros, I'd rather spend that money on a player like Modric.

meh, that would leave us defenseless in the counters tho.

Who honestly believes Morata will get called up or even Joselu for that matter?

Carjaval for RB

Marca:

Real Madrid accountants are still juggling the figures to get Modric. In the main offices at the Bernabéu they are squaring the accounts to be able to sign the iconic Croatian midfielder, as long as the whole operation comes in at under 35 million.

When he comes to Real Madrid, Modric won’t be able to wear either of the two shirt numbers he has had during his career – 10 and 14. The Croatian player started off with Cruyff’s legendary number 14 when he was with Dynamo Zagreb, and carried it through to Spurs, where he still wears it. However, in the Croatian national side, he changed a couple of years ago to number 10, which he has worn in the European Championship.

However, at Real Madrid, 14 is the property of the irreplaceable Xabi Alonso, and at present number 10 belongs to another current – and future – icon at the Bernabéu: Mesut Özil. And so if in the end his signing is completed, Modric will have to start with a new number.

At the Bernabéu there is one number they’d be delighted to hand to him – Kaká’s number 8 , but Kaká is standing firm on his decision to remain (there are three years left on his contract), and his departure, involving €10 million net per annum, is looking like a pipe dream.

One other popular media choice would be for Modric to inherit the number 23 worn by David Beckham. If Real Madrid is seeking a popular shirt number, they never sold more white shirts than when Becks wore number 23 for Real Madrid.

Nooooooooo

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Ac Milan are observing with great interest the situation of Xabi Alonso of Real Madrid.

come on mt.

FFS Modric, stay away from here. We do not need him at all. We need a different kind of midfield player

FFS take modric already

This is all wrong. We are keeping Kaka, Shahin, Khedira, Alonso, Granero, Ozil, Di Maria, and Altintop with keeping in mind that we haven't sold Lass and Gago yet.

Buying Modric is the worst thing we could do right now. Not that he is a bad player or anything, but atm he is not needed.

I dont understand the hype with Modric

He's not better than Ozil at AM and Ozil shouldnt be relegated to the wing to accommodate Modric.

He isnt better than Khedira at CM because Modric cant defend, and he cant play on the wing

Pointless signing for 35 Mil imo. Ide rather buy someone like Belhanda and take a risk

Or just put those 35 mil into the Lucas/Nerman kitty

nonono, we dont want modric ffs. no fking 433. its the worst for us.

Ozil shouldnt play for madrid if he is played in the wrong position. FFs.

Fichajes.net says the Germany midfielder feels under-appreciated at Real and is considering his options, with a return to the Bundesliga at the forefront of his thinking.

Bayern Munich are monitoring developments, which has raised the possibility of a swap involving Bastian Schweinsteiger.

-------------------

AS says Real Madrid's bid to sign Modric has hit the buffers with Nuri Sahin refusing to go to Tottenham in part-exchange. It's claimed Real are baulking at the huge asking price and United are viewing the developments as 'good news'.

i would take schweinsteiger over khedira too

AS says Real want to balance the books with Kaka's sale, but need the €25 million for their budget with half the €65 million they paid AC Milan for the midfielder now due.

Lass:

AS says the former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder has rejected the chance to even meet with AC Milan officials about a move to the San Siro.

Hello Everyone! im new here

I think Modric would be an ok signing, but if we have Sahin, we don't really need him.

Welcome. Guti.
