Cassano ‘chooses’ Real Madrid
Wednesday 14 December, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Antonio Cassano saga appears set to reach its drawn-out conclusion with the Roma player opting for a January move to Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain and Italy.
Spanish daily Marca claimed today that Cassano had ‘chosen’ Real over Inter and that the mercurial 24-year-old will move to Madrid in the New Year transfer window for £4m.
With the Giallorossi desperate to cash in on their £20m signing, whose contract expires in the summer, and Inter chief Massimo Moratti confirming today that "there is no room for Cassano", Marca insists that Cassano will become a Galactico next month.
While the forward cannot officially decide to go anywhere until January 1, only Juve remain likely candidates to capture his services.
However, with the Bianconeri streaking ahead in the title race already, thanks to the exploits of David Trezeguet, Alessandro Del Piero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, it remains to be seen whether they are willing to take a risk on the controversial Roma striker.
Real, on the other hand, are said to be have renewed their interest in Cassano since the injury of Raul and the departures of Vanderlei Luxembourgo and Arrigo Sacchi.
Sporting director Emilio Butragueno is a fan of the Bari-born marksman and is thought to be set on recruiting him.
Italian newspaper Il Corriere dello Sport has gone so far as to suggest that Real are ready and willing to spend £6m to beat Juve to the punch.
