Ramon Calderon claims to have agreed deals with Arsenal's Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas and Chelsea's Dutch winger Arjen Robben and that he is also in talks with Brazil star Kaka.

Real Madrid presidential candidate Ramon Calderon says he has an agreement with the agent of Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas and Arjen Robben, Calderon's amazing claim that Robben had already signed a pre-contract agreement was announced just 24 hours after another candidate, Juan Villar Mir, said Cristiano Ronaldo was ready to join the club should he win the forthcoming elections.

Another presidential candidate Lorenzo Sanz has confirmed the name of the England international he claims will be moving to the Spanish capital They are Dutch defender Khalid Boulahrouz, Italian defender Gianluca Zambrotta, England midfielder Michael Carrick, Brazil midfielder Emerson and Argentinian midfielder Fernando Gago, who plays for Boca Juniors." Madrid's presidential election takes place on Sunday and Sanz has made a last-gasp bid to win over the voters by claiming to have deals in place to sign five players, including the Tottenham star.

Several of the other candidates have joined Sanz in making extravagant boasts about their plans for the club.

Meanwhile, Juan Miguel Villar Mir insists he has opened negotiations with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger about the vacant coach's position at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Arsene Wenger has denied reports he has agreed to become Real Madrid coach if Juan Villar Mir wins the presidential election.

Man, these spainish fellows making promises dunno they can keep or not?

another way also said to have ashely cole and c ronaldo all to buy votes..

perez sure made this tactic famous by promising to buy figo back in 2000 i think. Laughing

iceFatboy SG

I think if Chelsea is fined for talking to Cole for tapping other clubs' players.

then all these RM candidates should be banned. They are tapping on other clubs' players and announcing that they have signed for RM.

what this nonsense about? why is RM getting away with this rubbish?

used SG

spanish clubs are not PLC wad.

stellazio SG

chelsea still PLC meh?i thought roman withdrew it liao..

Agenda SG

don’t forget, RM are the biggest club in the world’s footballing history and imagine the money they will be earning.. those mentioned players would probably be pissed off by the peanuts their current team pays them

zocoss SG

Oh... the thing is these Real Madrid presidential candidates have not met or spoken to any of the players, they only mentioned their names, in other words... they can be considered as talking nonsense. Where as in chelsea's case, they had witness that A cole had met up with Peter Kenyon & Mourinho to discuss a transfer to chelsea.

If you compare both cases its a lot of difference, in the Real M case it is seen as the candidates are talking fantasy football and these candidates righ now are only normal members like any fan... they are not even on the board of directors so in a way they don't even represent RM so no case to charge them, they can be seen as ordinary fan saying who they want until they are elected. By then maybe they will keep quiet or they can be charge by Fifa. And Chelsea... well, they had the intent... Kenyon & Mourinho are official representatives of Chelsea.

stellazio SG

nope, zidane and figo were talked too before RM went to the clubs..so was Anelka.. Wink

zocoss SG

They did not talk to the players directly, they were talk through the press. This way they make the players themselves unhappy at their original club and ask for a transfer.

Once the player have asked for a transfer, They come in officially to make an offer. So in a way, they didn't approach the players illegally at all... Same for the Anelka case, he came to know RM wanted him then he starts to throw tantrum at arsenel and at this time, RM came in with an official offer followed by another when arsenal reject their first leaving arsenal no choice but to let him go rather than keep an unhappy player. Same with zidane and figo too.

Another one just fresh from the press and this time its Rooney.

Real Madrid presidential candidate Arturo Baldasano says the Spanish club could mount a bid for Manchester United star Wayne Rooney if he triumphs in the upcoming election.

Baldasano claims to have an agreement with Sven Goran Eriksson that will see the Swede take the Bernabeu hot-seat following the World Cup finals, and will be hoping that the England boss's relationship with the young striker could prove beneficial to the club.

With wild speculation surrounding all of the candidates for Sunday's elections any declarations can be taken with a pinch of salt, but Baldasano says he has already discussed Rooney with his prospective director of football Vicente del Bosque.

The Manchester United star is a key player at Old Trafford it is almost unthinkable that The Red Devils would consider any offer made for a player who is considered one of the best young talents in world football.

However Baldasano says he will do all he can to snare the United star, if given the green light by his managerial setup should he win the Real elections.

"I will do all I can to sign the players my management team want," Baldasano told The Sun.

"I have discussed Rooney with Del Bosque.

"Rooney is an extraordinary player who gives his all and is one of the most dangerous strikers there is.

"If my technical staff tell me he must sign for us then I will negotiate with United and if we can agree a deal Rooney will play for Real."

election time, anything is possible, candidates promise the earth. i thot we just went thru' it in may, so we shud know better (e.g. some 100+ m dissappear after voters supposedly nvr support gahmen using public's $)

i will read all the news with a pinch of salt. the onli thing i believe is sven is going there. he's got no place else who can afford him. after he's there, all the speculation abt players can start, becos he'll knw who to get. rooney is a distinct possibility, a trio ingerland reunion of sorts...(becks, roon and sven)

RockeY SG

I think sven rumours could be true for that candidate..

And the other one would be fabio capello with emerson etc. Because Juve in

trouble. Laughing
