Diego hopes for Real deal
Tuesday 18 March, 2008Diego is set to snub Juventus in the hope of joining Real Madrid, according to the Brazilian star’s father.
The midfield ace is winning plaudits in the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen where he has found the net 10 times so far this term.
Juve sporting director Alessio Secco met with Diego yesterday to discuss a possible move to Turin in the summer, but it seems that his heart is elsewhere.
“Diego would like to play for Real Madrid, but I can tell you that there are no negotiations at the moment,” Diego’s father Djair da Cunha said.
“If Real were interested then I would be able to discuss things for sure, but we will have to wait for the end of the season.”
There may be a twist in the tale, however, as Real’s sporting director Pedja Mijatovic told Marca last week that the Merengues aren’t interested in adding Diego to the ranks.

This should not worry us much, as many agents do those kind of things and start talking everywhere just in order to put price up.
It would be silly to talk about selling a player if only 1 or 2 teams are interested, so im not worried about this..
Also as Chester put nicely, would he really be in starting 11? Does he want to be bench warmer, or to play 90% of games in Juve and enjoy playing.
It is not about money only, and even if werder is the team who is selling him, it might happen the same as with Tiago and Tottenham, when Tiago did not want to join the spurs.
