Real Madrid's Negredo To Go, But Not To Italy - Agent
Real Madrid may want some homegrown players in their ranks, but another of their youngsters is to be sold...
Alvaro Negredo's dream of earning a place at Real Madrid appears to be over after his agent revealed that he was certain to be sold this summer, although not to Italy.
Reports have linked the 23-year-old striker to Roma and other Serie A outfits, but Michele Capasso has revealed that only teams from Spain and England have made contact.
Madrid have a litany of strikers and Negredo is surplus to requirements and will be offered to clubs on a permanent basis, rather than for another loan spell.
"
I confirm that Real intend to sell the player, I cannot see a loan agreement occurring," Capasso told Italian reporters.
"Among the other bids for my client out there, there are English and Spanish clubs. But clubs in Italy, including Roma, have never expressed any interest."
Madrid re-signed Negredo from Almeria after he had impressed last term and hinted that he could challenge for a place in the new-look squad.
But with the arrival of Karim Benzema to challenge for a place along with Ruud van Nistelrooy, Gonzalo Higuain and Raul, Los Merengues want to cash in on his talent.
