In an official statement Real Madrid confirmed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lass-Diarra-c21684 is being sent to Anzhi on loan, provided he passes the medical requirements of the Russian Club.
Eager for some experienced players, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Anzhi-Makhachkala-c39068 added French Player, Lassana Diarra, on loan from Real Madrid.
Lass is a defensive midfielder by trade, but is capable in taking control of the right-back berth if need be.
Considered to be too small to succeed at the start of his career, Diarra was turned down by quite a few football clubs until he was finally accepted by Le Havre.
At Le Havre, Diarra’s reputation really started to grow, finding a place in the U-21 French football squad, and eventually getting a transfer to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
While playing the 2005-2006 season for Chelsea, Diarra did not get much first-team football. However, the Frenchman improved his game, learning from players like Claude Makelele.
Injuries to first team players helped his cause as he was often deployed as a right-back in 2006-07 season.
In July 2007, reports started surfacing about Diarra moving to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and by the end of August, he was sold to the North London club.
With the departure of winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Freddie-Ljungberg-c14143, a strong midfielder was required at the Emirates Stadium. Arsene Wenger even commented on the young Frenchman calling him, “a multi-functional player”.
However, feeling he still was not seeing enough game time, Diarra transferred to Portsmouth in 2008 in a fee rumoured to be in the region of £5.5 million.
Diarra ended up doing well, playing for Portsmouth, and managed three goals for the club, before being sold to Real Madrid for €20 million.
At Real Madrid, Diarra showed a lot of promise, earning himself a starting eleven spot in La Liga’s Breakthrough Team and the Frenchman was the only foreigner on the list.
He had an overall successful time in Real Madrid, being a member of the winning league team, and also a key component of the Supercopa De Espana winning side.
However, with Kaka staying in Madrid, and with new comers, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857, sales needed to be made.
With the Frenchman not particularly needed by the club, Mourinho saw it fit to sell him to the Russian team, Anzhi.
At Santiago Bernabeu, Diarra won the Spanish Super Cup at the start of 2012/13 Spanish top flight season, but with more capable midfielders and defenders in their ranks, it was always going to be difficult for Diarra to see any more game time than what he
wanted craved.
Maybe moving to an upcoming club could guarantee the Frenchman minutes he craves.
