Bosco Leite: Kaka's father

The main topic of conversation during this meeting with friends, was the future of Kaka. Galliani is very concerned by reports that place the Brazilian player at Inter, Milan's arch rival. Bosco Leite assured him privately that the player will remain in Madrid and at the exit of office confirmed it publicly: "Kaka is not going anywhere".

The interest of Milan for Kaka's situation is not new. In fact, the Italian club is always aware of what might happen with the Brazilian player, because in a sentimental level, the player is considered theirs. Think of him as a child who has gone abroad to study at another club and the last thing they would want is to see him on the colors of the Inter.

In Milan, speculates that Bosco Leite and Galliani had reached an agreement whereby the player's father will immediately notify the club if the player leaves Real Madrid. Thus Milan would have preference for Kaka keeping in mind the economic situation.

Meanwhile, Kaka has repeatedly stated his desire to continue in Real Madrid. The last was on June 10, after the birthday of his son: "The truth is that I want to stay in Madrid. I know I have not met expectations and I would like to improve, so I take it as a personal goal".

Cristiano Ronaldo at Lisbon

How are you?

Okay. I was in the Algarve with family.

Do you have the wish for start the next season?
No, I want to vacation. Give it time. Now we have to rest the body.

You realizes that your numbers are brutal...
Yes. It was my second year in the league and I was more comfortable. On a personal level was the best for goals and individual actions. I'd rather score the half and win the Champions League or the League.

How many goals will you score in the next season?
I will not say a number. If you work, if you are concentrated, if the team is good, it's easier. If I could score the same of this season, I sign it.

Coentrao could play as midfielder for Real Madrid

Coentrao is considered the best left side defender of Portugal. However, Mourinho has called his transfer to use him not only as a defense, but also in more advanced positions, as midfielder. The coach is very proud of the Marcelo's performance in the season so the Brazilian is the leading candidate to start next season in the starting lineup in the lefty side of the defense. But Mou is convinced that both Marcelo as Coentrao are compatible.

Coentrao and Marcelo

Last season, Mourinho used Marcelo six times ahead of the left side, allowing Cristiano to play with more freedom. Well, the coach mainly wants Coentrao to play in this position, although the Benfica player might occupy several positions in the field of play. Apart from his quality and dribbling, Mourinho appreciates much his enormous versatility.

Coentrao has become this season in one of the best left side defenders in the world and a permanent starter in the Portuguese national team. But in his origins, in Rio Ave, he played as midfielder. Was his coach in Benfica in 2009-2010 season, Jorge Jesus, who decided to convert him on defense. That decision proved to be one of the keys to Benfica won the Portuguese League that year.

The high performance offered by Fabio Coentrao in the defense, has meant that this season has been only used as midfielder in three games; in two League matches (Rio Ave and Porto) and in the Super Cup final in Portugal. However, when Benfica has had to overcome difficulties, to advance the position of Coentrao has been one of the main weapons of Jorge Jesus.

Liverpool and Aston Villa battle for Gago

Given the expected Gago's leaving, out of Real Madrid, two teams from the Premier, Liverpool and Aston Villa, have begun to take positions to try to gain the services of the young Argentine midfielder.

Fernando Gago will leave Real Madrid this summer

The arrival of Sahim and Altintop at the Bernabeu Stadium, coupled with his continuous injuries this season, have shut the stage of the Argentine at Real Madrid, which for some weeks has discussed with the player's agent, Marcelo Lombilla, the options offered by the football market for his career.

Because of his age (25 years old), Gago has a good lineup in Europe's top leagues, so the player discards the return to Argentina. The main obstacle to his leaving from Madrid is his salary: two million euros per season, what some other teams in the Premier could pay. In particular two; Aston Villa and Liverpool, which are willing to engage in a battle for his signing.

The player likes both teams, but so far keeps silent on his future, although this seems to point to Anfield, to get under the command of Kenny Dalglish, who would have already communicated to Liverpool his intention to give the reins of the team to the Argentine player.

Juventus wants a trade: Lass-Felipe Melo

Juventus want to make a trade with Real Madrid for Brazilian midfielder Felipe Melo signs for the white club in exchange for Lass Diarra, according to a report in the Italian sports daily 'Corriere dello Sport'.

The possibility of exchanging players was spoken around month ago at the meeting that the Boards of both clubs, including Florentino Perez, held in the Spanish capital. 'Corriere dello Sport' claims that there is willingness on the part of Real Madrid to let out Lass and Jose Mourinho wants that Felipe Melo joins the Spanish team as soon as possible.

Lass Diarra and Felipe Melo

Now only lack, according to the newspaper, that Juventus can persuade Lass, because according with recent statements, the player said that if he leaves Real Madrid, would only play in England, place where he has good memories of his time at Arsenal, Chelsea and Portsmouth.

'Corriere dello Sport' claims that in this operation, the Real Madrid would have to compensate Juventus for the inequality in terms of market valuation of the players, because the Turin club paid in 2009, 25 million euros to Fiorentina, compared to 20 million that the Spanish team spent in signing Lass in 2008.

Coentrao will come to Real Madrid after the transfer of Lass

Fabio Coentrao will be the fourth signing of the season after Sahin, Callejon and Altintop. Last Thursday, his agent, Jorge Mendes, was at the Bernabeu to move forward in the negotiations. Madrid's intention is to announce the signing of Portugal player when closing the transfer of Lass. The French midfielder wants to return to the Premier League. So that the money that Real Madrid earns by that transfer, will fund the signing of Benfica side.

Fabio Coentrao

As is known, the Coentrao's buyout clause is 30 million euros and until a few days ago, Benfica had been reluctant to accept players as bargaining chips to lower that amount. However, contacts in recent days between Jorge Mendes and Benfica leaders have served to bring positions closer. So the Lisbon club is willing to reduce its financial claims and accept a player in the operation, as long as the players offered by the Madrid are Garay and Gago. Both are pleasing to the Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, who also would have given the approval to the arrival of both.

Meanwhile, Fabio Coentrao is vacationing with his family in a Mediterranean village, waiting for news of his future. The left side is quiet, but hopes that the transfer will be resolved soon. In fact, he publicly expressed his desire to leave Benfica to sign for Real Madrid. These statements have caused that the Portuguese club opens an expedient to punish him, becuase he talked to the Spanish media without permission.

Özil: Real Madrid's number 10

Real Madrid's number 10: Mesut Özil

Real Madrid introduced the new home shirt 2011-2012, white and gold, on Thursday and on the shelves at the Santiago Bernabeu Store, you could not find the Lass' shirt with the number '10' on the back. The white club thinks on Özil to use this emblematic number, from next season.

Although the German international said in the German newspaper 'Saz Aktuell': "The number '10' is reserved for Aguero", the idea of the club is that Özil takes this number to himself and lets the number '23', which is the number he has used this season. The player showed with his statements that would not have problems to yield the number to Kun Aguero, although he takes precedence over the Argentine at the time of choice.

Currently, the '10' is held by Lass, who had already showed his willingness to give it to Özil last March: "I have no problem to yield the number". But with his possible transfer to the Premier League (not accept the role he has in the team) will leave the '10' without an owner, which will further facilitate Özil's number change.
