Juventus, Benzema and Lass

Florentino Perez met Thursday in Madrid with the CEO of Juventus, Beppe Marotta. According to all the Italian media, the Juventus' target is to get the Benzema's signing or loan, the transfer of Lass and the assignment of Garay. They also asked about Arbeloa. According to Real Madrid, during lunch there was no talk of players. At the lunch also spoke the technical secretary of the Italian team, Fabio Paratici, whio featured reports on Chiellini, a tough and experienced international defender, 27 years old.

Juventus have made ​​a bad season. It is the seventh in the Italian League and is out of Europe. The gap with its historic rivals, AC Milan (Italian champion) and Inter has been getting bigger every season since "Moggigate", but other teams with less history than the Juventus, as Napoli, Udinese and Lazio have also passed them in recent years. This forces the Juve to recover the lost prestige in the field and in the courts. So the approach to Real Madrid and its players. The problem for the Turin team is that does not have much money.

However, the agent of Benzema, Karim Djaziri has played down the claims: "At the moment there is nothing and I think Benzema will stay at Real Madrid even next season because he is happy there. The rest is just talk", Djaziri told.

Then, there is the case of Lass. Sahin's arrival has unnerved Lass, which could leave Real Madrid this summer. The French midfielder met last Monday with his agent, John Williams, at the Mirasierra Suites hotel. The agent visited the white team to discuss the future of Lass at the request of the player. The midfielder fears that next season has still less prominence in the Mourinho's team. So he ordered his agent to talk to Real Madrid about his wishes to change at the end of this season.

Lass is a player with a good lineup in England and that is the destination that pleases him. In fact, last winter the midfielder already received an offer to return to the Premier, but Madrid closed its doors. Anyway, now Mourinho is not willing to keep him if he wants a change. The presence of Xabi and Khedira, the success of Pepe's presence in midfield and the arrival of Sahin, cause that Lass does not see a clear future in Madrid.

Milan and Chelsea will bid for Kaka

Kaka have one foot out of Real Madrid. Chelsea and Milan have already taken positions. The owner of the "Rossoneri", Silvio Berlusconi, has been the last to join the list with this invitation to the footballer: "Ricardo (Kaka) is an extraordinary man. If he decides to return to Milan, we are waiting with open arms" said to the Italian media yesterday.

Real Madrid player could leave the club last summer, but his knee surgery that kept him out of the pitch almost six months, ended his move to Chelsea. The player had already given the nod to Abramovich, shortly before joining the training camp in Los Angeles, but once he was diagnosed with the extent of his injury, everything was ruined.

However, ten months later, Kaka's situation has not changed too much. Despite the return to the team, score goals and play more games, the reality is that there has not settled in Madrid. Regained fitness and forgotten lesions, is the player who has assimilated the best thing may be a change of scene and start a new era.

Kaka is the one who most believes in himself but sees that maybe Chelsea or Milan, where he was waited with open arms, may be the best option to go back to being what he was. The Brazilian has between the eyes the World Cup Brazil 2014, and is aware that has been left out of the Copa America. He knows that to get to be in this World Cup needs to play more games.

The other obstacle to the out of Kaka, until recently, was the Real Madrid, especially Florentino Perez, whose investment by the Brazilian was the third largest, only behind Cristiano and Zidane. But the club begins to consider making let go of the player if gets a good deal.

The transfer of Kaka could serve to lower any other important operation. In Madrid are aware that nobody is going to pay the 65 million that Brazilian cost, but he has been revalued and its sale could be now the most important of the Real Madrid in recent years.

In the case of Chelsea, Real, or rather Mourinho, could take Ancelotti's interest in the player to ask Drogba, especially if Adebayor does not continue. The Ivorian, despite his age, is a footballer of Portuguese coach's confidence, who will insist on the signing of another striker if he sees that the club finally decides to let go Adebayor.

The Chelsea is therefore the first choice for Kaka, but always subjected to the continuity of Carlo Ancelotti, the great supporter at Stamford Bridge. The sentence of the player's mother in social networks just two days ago "Next year we will be in London" has strengthened this possibility about his future.

Kaka has also been relegated to the bench this season. However, he showed signs of recovery since he returned from his latest injury, to the extent that Mou wanted to give the great opportunity he expected. An important match and a scenario like the Nou Camp, but the meeting sounded a farewell after a gray game and be replaced by Özil.

Sahin also defends the current style of Real Madrid and says he does not understand the criticism that the team is receiving: "The past weekend, I watched the 6-2 against Sevilla on television, was a very attractive football. Real Madrid scores a lot of goals, and in fact there is nothing more attractive than the goal", comments Sahin.

Sahin acknowledges that, due to the presence of Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira and Lass Diarra, will be hard to play on the team and there will be a hard fight for the starter place, but adds he hopes to win the "job": "In other top European clubs, the competition has not been less harsh. Besides, I'm going to Spain full of confidence. I think I have the potential to play as starter in Madrid. I will try to earn a spot on the team, although in Real Madrid wait me the hardest fight of the world".

Minutes later, the spokesman for the coach, Eladio Parames, responded forcefully: "Valdano is the spokesman for the club, but to my knowledge is not the spokesman for Mourinho. He is flatly wrong when he says that Mourinho stepped sideways to lower the noise. Mourinho is prepared to make noise at the right time and will speak unequivocally".

Months ago, José Mourinho demanded that Jorge Valdano departed from the locker room and Valdebebas, and came to ask to the club that the general manager did not to travel with the team. However, in recent months a peace of convenience was held waiting for the end of the season, when Florentino Perez, president of the club, will have to take a position on the conflict. The new confrontation will not help.

Aitor Karanka, also talked about Cristiano Ronaldo and team involvement to help in yourpersonal goal: "Ronaldo's numbers are truly impressive, and his quality allows him to do this and much more. It is also the product of the work done by the entire team, which also has impressive collective numbers this season".

"There's always some motivational factor, and the greatest of all is to play for Real Madrid. Let's not obssess about it, but some players have looked to assist Cristiano tonight, but I insist: there is no greater motivation than to wear this shirt. What is paramount on this squad is comradeship and to have a good atmosphere, so it's even better for us if we're able to help a teammate achieve a personal goal".
