Apparently Arbeloa's agent is also the agent of De La Red, so it could also be about De La Reds tests and/or his future man...
that man is also the agent of albiol and portugal, with rumors having it, that negotiations for albiol intensify, not to meantion arbeloa and with portugal negotiating his departure from madrid. so basically, that agent was a very buisy man on his visit to the bernabeu
i like the news about xabi alonso, though i think 45m € is a lot for him & arbeloa, especially since i'm not all that eager for arbeloa, who's another RB instead of a much needed quality
natural LB however, signing xabi alonso would be perfect IMO. that way, if he comes back, de la red could be given a more offensive role.
AS claim, that a deal for ribéry is very close and will be struck before the end of june. however, it would be the clubs intention to keep that negotiating quite, unlike the david villa one. real apperently offering 55m € with bayern asking for 60m €.
