here's from MARCA. (transl. from spanish)
The Real Madrid thinks again in Javier Mascherano (20 years) as possible acquisition for the market of winter. The interest by the mediocentro Argentine was born last summer and since that moment the sports direction of the white club has done a complete monitoring of the player of River Plate. The delicate sports situation that crosses the company of Madrid they have carried to Butragueño and Sacchi to comb the market seeking a mediocentro that serve of aid to straighten the course al white team. The special conditions: common and that have not played neither UEFA neither Champions, closes practically the door al European market, for which the favorite one is again Javier Mascherano.
In the last days they have been analyzed to sixty different players (Diarra, Pedretti, Edu, Gravesen, Magrao, Essien. ..) but none complies with the conditions that needs the club or if they comply them, the leaders think that they do not have category to play in the Real Madrid. The circle has gone closing until coming to the conclusion that Mascherano is the one that complies all the requirements: does not occupy plaza of foreigner, can play the Champions and has category to dress the undershirt of the Real Madrid. Is not the only option, but yes the first one.
Arrigo Sacchi anticipates to return to Madrid and the first thing that will cause be to be met with Emilio Butragueño to outline the acquisition of the mediocentro. Sacchi already wanted to be carried to Mascherano al Parma in the campaign 2002-2003 and now would be able to comply its old aspiration in the Real Madrid. Florentine Pérez is in permanent contact since their vacation retreat and is being reported of all the movements that are happening themselves in the club. Today it will be in line to receive all the information of the decisive meeting that is going to produce in the Bernabéu between the director of soccer and the white sports general director.
Bayern, Barça and Depor have been other teams that have also been interested for the international one. River is willing to sell and is spoken of a quantity that patrols the ten million euro as price of the transfer of the last great one five that has given the Argentine soccer. In the recent visit that yielded al Bernabéu because of the dispute of the party against the poverty, Mascherano was not covered it more minimum and affirmed that its preference is to play in the company of Madrid. “I would love to play in the Real Madrid”, flat. Mascherano has broken recently with Frameworks Franchi, responsible for carrying its legal matters. Now it is the father the one that does the times of agent and is the one that has the key of the future of the mediocentro.
practically it says that Sacchi and the leaders of Madrid thinks none of these players comply to madrid's conditions. Diarra, Pedretti, Edu, Gravesen, Magrao and Essien. there's only Mascherano that they all think will do best in Madrid!
