"Following the directions of the coach (Bernd Schuster), the sports director (Pedja Mijatovic) and technical secretary (Miguel Angel Portugal) have reached an agreement handover. It is a consensus decision, the better for the group, "said Ramon Calderon, president of Real Madrid, the Channel I television.

It has been three months since the end of the last Spanish league and many teams have waited until the last minute today to close their templates, coinciding with the deadline for registering players. And Real Madrid was one of them.

"There will be neither high nor low," proclaimed Ramon Calderon, president of Real Madrid, last night. But only half the truth was not bought, but it sold.

The Manchester City has new owners, Abu Dhabi, United Arab group, which has a lot of money. And what we put on the table Real Madrid was a briefcase with 42 million euros (61.3 million dollars), much more than they gave Chelsea. "It is the fourth largest transfer in the history of football," Calderon is boasted.

Robinho accepted because his head was out of Real Madrid, in any team before the white, and because the Manchester City will pay six million euros (8.7 billion dollars) in five seasons.

Wagner Ribeiro, representative, smiled broadly, thus bagging a committee close to four million euros (5.8 billion dollars).

And Real Madrid? Its leaders applauded because Spaniards also took a good money for a player who does not appreciate and also be a team that is not seen as a competition, as it is Chelsea.

To complete the picture of reactions, only needed to ask Bernd Schuster, white technician, who requested reinforcements, but eventually left most of the players who entered.

Real Madrid bought only the Dutch Rafael van der Vaart and instead handed over to Julio Baptista and Robinho. In other words, White joined the club a lot more money than was spent, something unprecedented in the centennial history of the entity.

But it would also be uncertain state that Real Madrid made no attempt to sound an appointment during the day. In fact, the club reached blank bid about 60 billion euros (87.6 billion dollars) by the Valencia striker David Villa.

In addition, the club had been targeted to Villa willing to pay six million euros ($ 8.7 million) for each of the planned five seasons, twice what they earn in Valencia.

But Valencia did not relented. It seemed logical, just days after the club had extended the contract of the player, with presentation of the contract in a press conference.

Given that Villa remained in the city, Valencia agreed to cede the Serbian striker Nikola Zigic to Racing Santander. In addition, he sent the French goalkeeper Butelle to Lille.

The Betis starred some interesting movements. For example, card to the Spanish international Sergio García, who wanted to leave the Saragossa, Second Division. The latter team also sold to the Argentine Diego Milito at Genoa Italian.

The Betis made another move to sell the Brazilian international Rafael Sobis to Al Jazeera, the Arab Emirates. With this money chips to Sergio García. In addition, Nano ceded to the central Valladolid.

Meanwhile, Espanyol drew little choice but to sales from Pablo Zabaleta and Albert Riera, and tokens to Irish side Steve Finnan, from Liverpool.

In addition, Malaga also joined the Spanish international Albert Luque, with whom Ajax did not have.
