The French holding midfielder is unhappy with the right-back duties he has been asked to fill during the course of the season and wants assurances against it happening in the coming campaign.
Lassana Diarra’s wishes are his commands. The Frenchman has repeatedly voiced his refusal to play on the right side and it seems Jose Mourinho has agreed to his request. Real Madrid are short on numbers on the right flank, a position the Special One will be filling with more options in the transfer window.
However, with the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabinho-c13147.
The young Brazilian has the confidence of the Portuguese tactician, earning minutes on the pitch against Lisbon and Real Oviedo, the only two friendlies Madrid have been involved in so far in the pre-season.
Incidentally, Diarra was also involved in both the games. Despite the lack of numbers and relative inexperience of the available players, he was deployed in his preferred central midfielder position, , away from the slot that irritates him even jest.
It looks likely now that he will extend his stay at the Santiago Bernabeu and see out the remaining years on his contract, after being primed to depart the dressing room following his public bust-ups with Mourinho.
However, he came to his senses with the Real Madrid hierarchy selling him the idea of more playing time with the Spanish giants’ first team after the high profile departures of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamit-Altintop-c15652.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 and Kaka on their way out of Madrid, joining the aforementioned list of players, Diarra is one of the few midfielders retained for the coming season.
Nevertheless, it has been reported that Lassana Diarra has conveyed his plans for the future to Real Madrid, which ironically does not have the Capital club in them. The holding midfielder will be a free agent in the coming summer and will be taking that option, irrespective of what happens during the course of the season.
