here's some interesting news about January signings.
Real Madrid GM Sacchi eyeing Bayern Munich's Lahm
Real Madrid GM Arrigo Sacchi is considering a January bid for Bayern Munich fullback Phillip Lahm.
Sacchi wants to bring in an international class left-sided wing-back to eventually succeed Brazilian superstar Roberto Carlos.
Just 21, Lahm is already a German international and is a player that Sacchi has been following for some years.
Along with the Bayern defender, Sacchi is also considering Athletic Bilbao ace Asier del Horno.
Real Madrid to trump Man Utd, Arsenal for Mavuba
Real Madrid general manager Arrigo Sacchi is preparing a January bid for Bordeaux midfielder Rio Mavuba.
The 20 year-old is already established in the full French national team and is regarded as a long-term replacement for Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira.
Sacchi has made signing a defensive midfielder a priority for the winter market and after discarding the possible transfers of Edu (Arsenal) and Javier Mascherano (River Plate) has turned to Mavuba.
Arsenal and Manchester United are also chasing the youngster, but Real are confident they can clinch Mavuba's signature given the current financial constraints of both Premiership clubs.
Sacchi has drawn up a four-and-a-half year contract for Mavuba with a view to landing the defensive midfielder in January.
