Agent of Cristian Chivu does not rule out a move to Real Madrid
Agent of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-Chivu-c9519, has stated that the Romanian international can join Real Madrid at the end of his contract with the Nerazzurri. Chivu’s contract expires at the end of 2011/12 season and is yet to decide on his future.
Joan Becali, Chivu’s agent, hinted that the former AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 man could join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer, however, he rejected notions of the player returning to Ajax. The Resita-born player played for the Dutch giants from 1999 to 2003.
The 75-time capped international’s contract with the Italian giants runs out at the end of the current season and no agreement has been reached over a new deal thus far. Chivu has represented the Nerazzurri 97 times in competitive matches.
Becali stated that a return to Ajax is out of the cards at the moment, nevertheless, linking up with former manager Jose Mourinho remains a possibility.
The Portuguese is a staunch admirer of his abilities and would love to team-up with him again.
"Back to Ajax? I'd say he could continue playing abroad, maybe at Real Madrid," Joan Becali is quoted as saying by ESPNSoccernet.
''I'm talking with three or four big-level teams. He can continue playing for four or five years.''
"Real? Mourinho knows him well. I've spoken with him, we'll see. The most important thing is that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-c9491 plays as a pure defender."
Chivu is unhappy with Inter and voiced his opinions on the matter. The player has been extensively deployed as a left-back in the current campaign and does not like to play in his unfamiliar role.
The 31-year old confessed that he finds it unnatural to play as a full-back in Claudio Ranieri’s four man defence line.
"I am a centre-back," he told Sky Sport Italia. "Try putting http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Walter-Samuel-c36618 as a full-back and you will see how they perform.
Chivu was understandably unfazed by the situation he finds himself in. He lamented that he should have made it clear that he wants to play in his preferred position, which is not as a full-back.
He said that with he should not complain about these matters but at the current stage of his career he needs to play in central defence as playing out of position has become hard for him.
