Real Madrid: No one can refuse Bernabeu millions

REAL MADRID president Florentino Perez says he will continue his policy of signing a world class footballer each year and is already in talks with the leading player he expects to bring to the club next season.

“This year we will again be trying to sign the best player in the world,” Perez told a meeting of economic journalists yesterday. “He has already been in contact with us.”

Perez refused to reveal the name of the player, but in response to a question from one journalist, who suggested Real might look towards arch-rivals Barcelona for their new recruit, he replied with a smile: “Don’t worry it is not Ronaldinho”.
