Roberto Soldado will play for Valencia the next four seasons.  Valencia did not specify the price of the trasnfer. The striker played in the young and senior teams of Real Madrid.  He also played on loan at Osasuna before joining Getafe. Soldado will sustitute star striker David Villa, who was recruited by Barcelona although the player, upon arriving at Valencia, said that he did not come "to

Manuel Llorente, president of Valencia, justified the transfer "it's a good operation due to the financial situation in the club."

Not only Liverpool FC will get money in the deal that has sent Xabi Alonso to Madrid. Turns out that, according to FIFA regulations, the teams were a player played before he turned 23 years old also get money in case of a transfer (the 5% of the money). This is the list of the happy clubs:- Antiguoko (Xabi played there from 10 to 18) will get 600,000 euros. This club only has young teams. This

Klaas Jan Huntelaar became a Real Madrid player just seven months ago. Now he's ready to sign with AC Milan after being told that Real's new manager, Mr. Pellegrini, doesn't want him to be part of the roster.  It looks like a good deal for Real, doesn't it?  Well, not really... The merengues paid for the Dutchman 20 million euros and they are getting 15 now, plus part of that money it's going to

Also Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Xabi Alonso, adding that the Spanish international midfielder (27) will travel in the next days to the capital city of Spain for his medicals.

Manchester United has announced on its official website, as they did six years ago with David Beckham that Cristiano Ronaldo is Real Madrid's player.  No statement yet from Sir Alex Ferguson after saying in several occasions that he wouldn't transfer the player to any team and never to Real Madrid. Real Madrid will pay 96 million euros that will too many or too few depending on the performance

It was just a matter of time. The chairman of Real Madrid has left the club after been involved in several scandals. He has been reportedly accused of using the club credit card for his personal use, offering season tickets to friends (meanwhile supporters have to wait more than two years), and the last one: Letting people vote in his favour, people without the right to be in the meeting where

Míchel, the former super class player that wore Real Madrid jersey first and that was responsible of the young teams of the Spanish giants later has decided to say goodbye. The main reason: Mr. President. Ramón Calderón continues will need, after Huntelaar, another star to cover all his problems. That and victories, of course.

Klaas Jan Huntelaar was linked to a move to Real Madrid last Summer.  Now the deal is done, the Dutch will wear the white jersey with the number 19 on his back.  The goal, to score the goals that Ruud van Nistelrooy won't.

Ruud van Nistelrooy won't play the rest of the season and Real's manager Bernd Schuster wants a substitute.  Javier Saviola is not good enough for Schuster: Valdanito Crespo is the one. According with As, Jose Mourinho has no problem letting the Argentinan -Inter have 29 players- go but Marca reports that Mourinho doesn't want to get rid of the striker.

Sir Alex Ferguson doesn´t like Real Madrid. A lot of people don´t like Real Madrid. It´s just a fact. But a lot of people doesn´t like Manchester United and a lot of people, even those that support the Reds, think that Alex Ferguson is a big problem for his team. He is a big problem not only because with another manager Manchester United would have more trophies, he is a problem because he

Strange match in Madrid. Real Madrid defeated Bilbao 3-2 but the referee was the "star" of the night in Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. A penalty against the locals and two wrong off-sides (agaings Real too) could have changed the result of the game but Gonzalo "Pipita" Higuain scored the goal that untied the 2-2 score. Higuain scored twice and Wesley Snjder did it once for the Spanish giants. Great

  English tabloids, and those that aren´t tabloids, like to focus on Spain. Luis Aragonés or the Spanish National basketball team in Beijing are just two examples. But when they have to talk about their people it turns out that they look at... the ceiling. The picture above was taken in the last Aston Villa - Liverpool match.

After all the talking... crying because he wanted to move to Chelsea... the boy has moved to... Manchester. Manchester City has signed the Brazilian. Meanwhile Real Madrid get 42 million euros and get rid of a pain in the ***. Hmmm... sounds like all he wanted was... money. How about Peter Kenyon and Chelsea selling jerseys with Robinho on the back? The best part though is that he has said

Bad news for Radomir Antic.  Bojan Krkić has been very clear: He is Spanish and he will play for the Spanish national team. Antic, Serbia manager, thought he could make the striker changed his mind but turns out that his friendship with Bojan Sr. wasn't enough and the player will play for the European champion.

Espanyol de Barcelona have lost another star.  After Albert Riera now is the turn of Argentinan Pablo Zabaleta.  The defender will play for Manchester City after the English club deposited the eight million euro buy-out clause.

According to Spanish sports daily As, Robinho will play for Real Madrid this season. These are some of the keys of the "Robinho gate": - Peter Kenyon was really upset with Vagner Ribeiro, the player´s agent, because Ribeiro called journalists to wait for them in a restaurant in Madrid. - Chelsea thought that the deal was done and they even start selling jerseys with the name of the player...

It's over. David Villa and Santi Cazorla won't play for Real Madrid.  Both of them have signed new contracts with their clubs. Just another failure for Ramon Calderon.  Real's president likes to talk a lot about new players coming to his side but it seems like he's gonna have to choose another target.
