WHAT IS HAPPENNING WITH CRISTIANO RONALDO | REAL MADRID

The loss yesterday by Real Madrid away to Sevilla FC is a Football event that is always possible in high level competition & when the opposition team simply played better.

There is not doubt that Ronaldo is trying his best to

The injuries to lateral defenders Danilo & Carvajal, along with the departure of Coentrao has Real Madrid concerned about a possible injury to Marcelo.

Real Madrid wishes to reinforce its midfield after Coach Benitez expressed internally his lack of confidence with currently players Illaramendi & Lucas. The

REAL MADRID TO TARGET FERNANDO LLORENTE ?

More interesting Spanish Football rumour & speculation doing the rounds.

REAL MADRID TRANSFER NEWS | BIGLIA - CASILLAS

News out from Italy, precisely from "La Gazzetta Dello Sport", publishes that Spanish Football Club Real Madrid has contacted (asked about) 29 year old Argentine & Lazio Central Defender Lucas Biglia.

ARDA TURAN | GET PAID MORE RUN LESS

Runs too much at Atletico de Madrid.




What !...you may say looking at the 2º  reason, but this is what Spanish Sports paper "Marca" publish. Apparently Atletico Coach Simeone makes the Turk run

REAL MADRID | SERGIO RAMOS ALTERNATIVES

If you were to ask me if I see defender Sergio Ramos elsewhere next season that is not Real Madrid my answer is NO. As written below there is a solid arm wrestle going on between the player & Real Madrid to better players contract & economic conditions. Each is using their cards to get the upper-hand with half stories & even non-truths. 

Sergio Ramos has played a wild card that may have taken

SERGIO RAMOS | MAN UNITED | REAL MADRID TRIANGLE

Lots being said & written overseas (UK especially) & locally on the future of Real Madrid & Spanish International Sergio Ramos.

PSG THIAGO MOTTA TALKING TO AT MADRID ?

Another surprising "off season" news piece. Paris St Germain midfielder Thiago Motta is currently in the city of Madrid & local media sources say that the player is meeting up with Spanish Football Club Atletico de Madrid to discuss a possible transfer operation. Surprising because the PSG midfielder has 32 years of age & is in the "twilight" of his career.

REAL MADRID THINKING ABOUT MAURO ICARDI ?

The player himself has not confirmed or denied yet the story but it has been picked up by all local papers & media as a main

REAL MADRID | BENZEMA TESTING THE MAN UNITED WATERS

As written in the last post, the arrival of new Coach Rafael Benitez to Real Madrid complicates the upcoming season for French striker Karim Benzema. Benitez obviously believes in the talent & class of the player, but beforehand does not fit into his "tactical" set-up which is usually just one pure Striker up-front or two in a 4-4-2 system. In either variation it is Cristiano Ronaldo (the

English
Premier League Club Manchester United & Colombian International forward Radamel
