Portsmouth Agree Sale Of Lassana Diarra To Real Madrid

Portsmouth and Real Madrid have agreed a transfer fee to take Lassana Diarra from Fratton Park to the Bernabeu, but the amount differs according to the source.

According to The Sun, Pompey are set to receive £24 million (€26.7 million), while the Daily Mail reports that Los Blancos will part with £18 million (€20 million).

Either way, the south-coast club are set to make a tidy profit on the £5.5 million (€6.1 million) paid to Arsenal to sign the midfielder last January.

It is thought that Los Merengues will officially announce the deal within the next 48 hours and that the French international, who can also fill in at right-back, will complete the switch on January 2.

A delighted Juande Ramos, the Real Madrid head coach, is quoted as saying: "The big players are already in the Champions League and cannot be signed.

"Diarra is a player I know well and I would like a player like him here."

The news comes as a blow to the transfer plans of English duo Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, the former in particular as it is believed they were willing to offer more money to sign the 23-year-old.

(although i reckion real have put a few pennies away for such situations)

I did guess that.

Even Chelsea have said their not going to be spending much money and Madrid are spending £20 million on Aaron Lennon and Diarra.

Apparently Lennon could come to Liverpool in a swap deal with Pennant.

pennant was wank against crewe ffs.

i dont rate him highly enough to be a 20 million pound real madrid player, seems crazy to me, could prove me wrong but i cant see it

i said not 20 M HE IS GOOD YEAH AND THING is hes only ganna get better

Thats what i thought was crazy in the first thing the price tag, but when a team like Madrid, Man U, Chelsea or Liverpool come in for a player then a extra 10 mil normally gets added on, i havnt seen enough of him this season to say what kind of potential he has, couldnt see a great deal of it at chelsea or arsenal, we will se tho

i wont i cant stand watching la liga

right.

players that wernt rated by ther teams enough to be kept recently.
