http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid move – Portuguese Primeira Liga news
Fabio Coentrao has reiterated his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Love-c22466 for Benfica and said that he will play for them next season if a move to Real Madrid does not arise.
"I'm a player of Benfica. I have a contract until 2016 and, if God wants, I will join the team on the 27th," he told the Portuguese press.
"I have always said I love Benfica. If someday I leave, I hope it will be a good deal for me and the club, but I will always think about returning," said the Portuguese International.
Coentrao’s future has been under intense scrutiny this season with Real Madrid looking to sign him. The Selecao International added further fuel to the media fire after he openly expressed his desire to play for the Spanish giants. This angered the club
hierarchy and they were on the verge of exercising legal action on him but he escaped unscathed in the end.
His glittering performances in the wingback position for the Reds have attracted praise from International teammate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, who said that he would be an excellent signing for Los Blancos.
Even the manager, Jose Mourinho, is a known admirer of the player’s versatility and would be looking to bolster his ranks to break Barcelona’s monopoly in La Liga.
With overlapping runs and an eye for goal, Coentrao is in the similar mould as Santiago Bernabeu legend, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-Carlos-c31317, and his ability to play in midfield makes him a coveted treasure in world football. The player’s dream of playing alongside illustrious
names and the financial muscle of the Madrid outfit may yet prove to be the factor that tips the transfer in favour of Mourinho.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-Zaragoza-c40344 man’s stock rose immensely after some stellar performances with the Portuguese national team in last year’s World Cup. He then went on to become a regular in the Benfica first team, prompting the long running transfer that continues
to his day.
The player might love Benfica and their quest for silverware, but playing in of the biggest leagues in the world alongside footballing greats might prove too tempting for Coentrao.
