Madrid gets in the future Afellay

The midfielder also wants to leave as soon as possible while driving the interest of Atlético and half Italian.

Barca must move more quickly than desired if you want to be well positioned in the battle to gain the services of Ibrahim Afellay. As already published a few days ago, both PSV Eindhoven as the Dutch midfielder is well aware that the player is in a privileged place on the agenda of future events of Andoni Zubizarreta and Pep Guardiola. The problem is that the timing of operations Barca and PSV do not add up to restrict term. A serious problem that could take advantage of Real Madrid to give the punch during the winter.


The interest from Atletico Madrid last summer and half of Italy in recent weeks is common knowledge. However, what has transpired to date is the movement which carried out the Madrid technical secretariat about Afellay. The story is set in an alleged exchange of parts that are working from the offices of the Bernabeu. Mourinho does not count at all with Lass Diarra. The midfielder is in the market and it is hoped that during the months of December and January is a satisfactory outcome to the player. His departure would leave a gap Afellay could be the cover charge. The Portuguese coach would for the work to bring more quality to the double pivot and the Dutchman would be the perfect complement to Xabi Alonso. Right now is one of the preferred options for the technical secretariat.

The entry into force Real Madrid play a major retouch Zubizarreta plans. Afellay option was a favorite at the Nou Camp, although it has always been an alternative thinking of the 2011-12 season. It may not be. If the club decides to go for the 24-year contract ends at the end of the season will have to move from the current contacts to the original negotiations. Afellay PSV and have reached an agreement in principle to close a deal during the winter market will enable the Dutch club to enter a transfer. The posture is firm and even stated in an official statement on the website of the Dutch entity itself.


Those who want to become international with the addition of the tab will have to move quickly. At present there is full agreement that the player is one of the great 'deals' in the European market. His will leave the Dutch competition and the fact that contract ends next June 30 will become a coveted piece whose cost should not be fired. The patient awaits PSV to the accumulation of the proposals and the interest of many clubs who have knocked on the door become firm offers to raise the maximum possible auction of the jewels of its workforce. The margin of maneuver the boat has been reduced. The club is aware that recalaría Afellay happy at Camp Nou, but Real Madrid also weighs and if Diarra Lass eat his departure, Mourinho can become a serious danger.
