Real Madrid (‎Los Blancos) | Special Thread

Real Madrid and Manchester United open negotiations for Morata.[Marca]

Alvaro Morata has expressed his desire to leave Real Madrid to the club hierarchy and talks are taking place over a move to Manchester United.

Two weeks after he initially told the club that he was keen to move on to gain first team football, it now seems certain that he will end up in the Premier League.

Real's second highest goalscorer is firm in his determination to leave the club for the second time in his career.

Zinedine Zidane has made an attempt to convince the striker to change his mind but to no avail.

The situation surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo and his own determination to leave Los Blancos this summer has played no part in Morata's decision-making process because the former Juventus striker is only interested in playing regular first team football at this stage of his career and believes his best chance of doing so lies away from the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Jose Mourinho has kept abreast of that situation throughout the season but has reassured the Spain international recently that he would play an important role for the Red Devils.

A reunion with Ronaldo has also been played down by Mourinho, who has detached himself from such speculation.

While an agreement is expected to be reached, Real are currently seeking 80 million euros for Morata and will not lower their asking price, safe in the knowledge that Mourinho considers signing the player as a priority for his side.

Next week, the future of Morata will be definitively decided, or at least that is the intention of the player who wants to return from his holidays with everything completed.

All that he is awaiting is an agreement to be reached between the clubs.
 
Vinicius Junior sees Flamengo playing time cut

Flamengo coach Ze Ricardo had started Vinicius Junior in the Rio de Janeiro club's past three matches, but the future Real Madrid player was given a run-out of just eight minutes in Thursday night's match against Chapecoense.

There had been speculation that Real Madrid were obligating Flamengo to start the player, but Ze Ricardo had no problem benching him after a lacklustre performance in the previous game against Fluminense.

His decision may also have been an attempt to prove that there was no such obligation to start the 16-year-old.

Making the night even tougher for the teenager was the fact that he had a goal ruled out for offside in the 5-1 victory, one which would have been his first in professional football.

In the short term, things could pick up for Vinicius Junior given that Everton Cardoso is suspended for the next fixture and there will be a chance to play on his natural left side, rather than the right flank.

However, the fact that Flamengo have recently signed attacking players Everton Ribeiro and Geuvanio will increase the competition for minutes.

Vilarrubi: They don't want a photograph of Cristiano Ronaldo in the dock

Lionel Messi is set to have his 21-month prison sentence swapped for a fine of 252,000 euros, but Barcelona vice-president Carles Vilarrubi has suggested that this development is related to the Cristiano Ronaldo tax case.

The Real Madrid player is accused of defrauding 14.7 million euros and the Blaugrana director wondered whether the downgrading of Messi's punishment was done to set precedent.

"I find it difficult to imagine that this would have happened had there not been a similar problem with another player," he told RAC1 about the prosecutor's decision.

"All of the developments that are taking place right now and that will take place in the coming days are so that Cristiano Ronaldo does not sit in the dock.

"They don't want there to be a photo of Ronaldo in the dock, but Messi did have to go through this."

Vilarrubi did stress that he will consider the Portuguese player innocent until proven guilty, but he pointed out that Messi wasn't always afforded the same treatment.

"I grant Ronaldo the same presumption of innocence that we gave to Messi," he stated.

"They said that [Messi] was a mafia boss fronting a family or organised crime.

"Now the minister of the tax authorities has made statements calling for Ronaldo's presumption of innocence."

Ronaldo is currently in Russia representing Portugal at the Confederations Cup and has a date in court on July 31.

​
It's no secret that Kylian Mbappe is determined to sign for Real Madrid, but the player has reportedly gone one step further and has already discussed a move to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu with Zinedine Zidane.

The French coach assured the 18-year-old that he would rack up plenty of minutes if he were to move to the Spanish capital.

The story is reported on L'Equipe's front page this Friday, while it has also been reported up by Onda Cero's 'El Transistor' programme and by Radio MARCA.

Not only has the French newspaper suggested that the forward will be given the playing time he craves, but they even suggested that Real Madrid could let a member of the BBC front three leave, meaning one of Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale or the wantaway Cristiano Ronaldo.

Zidane also reportedly told Mbappe during this secret chat that he can make him a world star.

Real Madrid's Mariano Diaz is getting closer and closer to a switch to Ligue 1 side Lyon.

Although nothing has yet been finalised, the French side are offering to pay €10m for 60% of the player's rights.

Madrid were expecting €15m and a buyback option. But with this route, the club banks less money but almost half of the rights of the player are still in their hands. [Source Marca]

​
Having previously coached Real Madrid C, Castilla and the youth team, Manuel Diaz has returned to Los Blancos.

Ponferradina was where he coached last and Diaz has been without a club since leaving there in January 2016.

He will be helping out with different aspects of first-team training, as well as playing a part in player recruitment at the club.

Diaz took charge of Real Madrid C in 2010, taking them up to Segunda B, before being given the Castilla job, where he failed to secure survival.

In 2014, he left the club for Ponferradina, spending two years with the Leon side, before leaving his post in early 2016.
