Kaká has officially been presented as a Real Madrid player this evening (Tuesday 30th June) and will wear the number “8” shirt. Over 40,000 fans turned out to greet the player, the first of the new “galáctico” era to be presented. Hundreds of journalists were also at the event which is sure to be headline news around the world. Kaká spoke of his joy at signing for Real Madrid and revealed it was

Manchester United have accepted an £80million offer from Real Madrid for Christiano Ronaldo. The offer is the largest ever transfer fee paid for a player and far eclipses anything that has gone before it. Only a couple of days after announcing the signing of Kaka from Milan, this is a major coup for Florentio Perez, who returned as Real Madrid president only a couple of weeks ago. Rumours had

It appears that the wheels of Perez’s galactico project have firmly been put in motion, with reports in Spain suggesting a deal to bring Kaka to the Bernabeu is all but done. If so, this would break the world record transfer fee set during Perez’s last stint in the Bernabeu. It is almost certain that Kaka is not the only galactico who will arrive at the Bernabeu this summer. Reports in Spain

Real Madrid have officially confirmed Florentino Perez has been elected unopposed as Real Madrid president. This is his second spell in charge at the Bernabeu, having being in the top job from 2001-2006. During that time he implemented the “galacticos” policy at the club, brining in world-class players like Zidane, Figo and Beckham. Reports in the Spanish media claim Perez is set to appoint

Speculation is mounting in Madrid as to the identity of Real Madrid’s next manager. Valdano, set to become sporting director if Perez becomes president, has said he is looking at three potential candidates for the Madrid hot-seat. It seems highly unlikely Arsene Wenger will be taking over at Madrid next season. Although he was the first choice candidate for Perez, Wenger looks set to be staying

Following Real Madrid’s 3-2 defeat to Villareal last night, Barcelona are now champions of Spain for the ‘08/’09 season. It was Real Madrid’s 3rd defeat in as many weeks, and it appeared as if most of the players had decided to concentrate on their summer holidays rather than try and make it difficult for Barcelona to claim the title.Villareal got off to a great start, pressing forward determined

Florentino Pérez officially announced today his intention to run in the Real Madrid presidential elections in June. It can hardly be considered a surprise announcement, given the carefully orchestrated behind-the-scenes campaign being run by his advisors over the past few months. Indeed, such is the anticipation surrounding the return of Pérez, the Madrid based media (in particular Marca) have

Barcelona can become La Liga champions this evening if they beat Villareal at the Camp Nou, following Real Madrid’s shambolic defeat to Valencia on Saturday evening. Last night’s 3-0 victory for Valencia gave them a major boost in their quest to finish in the Champions League places this season....on the other hand, it really consolidated the fact that Real Madrid need a major squad overhaul

It has been widely reported in the Spanish media over the past couple of days that Florentino Perez will announce his intention to run as a candidate in the Real Madrid presidential elections on May 14th. If this happens, then it seems almost certain he will be elected president, such is the enigma surrounding him. After the last presidential reign, presided over by Ramon Calderon who failed to

Well it looks like the League is over this season for Real Madrid. Unless Barcelona suffer from some sort of implosion over the next few weeks (which is unlikely judging by their performance tonight) then they will certainly be crowned La Liga champions.El Clásico on Saturday evening was regarded by both fans and players in Madrid as their chance to finally catch Barcelona and many believed if

With only hours to go before El Clásico excitement is mounting in Madrid, with fans believing this is their one chance of the season to finally catch up with Barcelona, and maybe somehow win a 3rd consecutive La Liga title, something only a couple of months ago was regarded as impossible. Even with their creativity and potent strike-force, Barcelona are now only 4 points ahead of Real Madrid and

Wow! It looks like the La Liga title race is back on again! Finally Barcelona have slipped up and now there are only 4 points between them and Real Madrid. It means we're in for an exciting end to the season!A thrilling encounter in the Mestalla on Saturday night ended with a 2-2 draw between Valencia and Barcelona, and gave Real Madrid a golden opportunity to close the gap between them.
