Football Transfer Update: United and Spurs interested in signing Real Madrid’s Lassana Diarra
With interest of French striker Karim Benzema rising in the ranks of England, there is reason to believe that the out of favour 22-year-old might be part of a cash and player transfer saga.
Arsenal is on top of the list in England as the player is assumed to be involved in a player transfer. Apparently the Real Madrid manager assumes he will not be in deficiency of fire power in January even if he trades off Benzema.
Kaka, the Brazilian maestro will be making his return after long two injury prone years therefore firepower will not be a question. The question however will be form as the player has been barely fielded in a long time and according to experts hostile behaviour
has already been shown by Mourinho when he stated that the player will have to gain his way to the first team and that he won’t become an obstacle if the player wants to make a transfer this winter.
Rumours have it that the manager is not happy with the performance of his left back Marcelo. Many experts claim that it was because of the Brazilian Marcelo that Real Madrid lost humiliatingly to Barcelona.
In the match due to some Marcelo-lapses the Catalans proved their dominance once again as they put 5 goals past the Los Merengues defence while conceding nil. Henceforth Mourinho is thinking of signing in a new left back and according to rumours it happens
to be the Arsenal’s defender Gael Clichy.
The news has arisen after rumours erupted from Santiago Bernabeu that Mourinho might make some surprising this winter to play a wild card against Arsenal and gain La Liga dominance once again.
The sacrificial lamb it seems will be Benzema however he is not the only person who has his neck under the sword. Apparently there is another Frenchman that is on the verge of being traded off and it is former Arsenal player Lassana Diarra.
The 25-year-old used to play in the English Premier League before his admittance in La Liga. Now it seems that the number 10 of Real Madrid will be re-entering the English arena as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs have shown interest in signing the
player.
Diarra has been under speculation of a possible transfer for a very long time now. During the summer transfer window he was strongly linked with a move to Red Devils but because of unknown reason the deal slumped.
Even since then it is believed that the player will be out of Los Blancos soon because of lack lustrous performances. Both United and Spurs have been looking forward to sign in a defensive midfielder for a long time and while Real Madrid is saturated with the
talents of German Sami Khedira and Spanish Xabi Alonso, there is no room for Diarra to play.
Diarra has featured in 65 matches for Real Madrid and scored a lone goal while having provided 7 assists. He expected to be tagged with a price of around 30 million Pounds by Real Madrid.
