Real Madrid could make Cesc Fabregas their number one
transfer target next summer, with Real keen to tie up their three
targets in two years.
The Spanish champions are known admirers of Fabregas and the
Arsenal midfielder was one of president Ramon Calderon's transfer
pledges when he was running for election last summer.
Real were unable to bring Fabregas to Madrid at that time though,
and they also failed in their bid to sign the 20-year-old this
summer, with the player committing his immediate future to
Arsenal.
However, it could be third time lucky in 12 months' time, with
Calderon hinting they will be making another bid for the Spain
international, who came through the youth ranks at Real's arch
rivals Barcelona.
When asked if there was still time to sign the three players he
promised during his election campaign - namely Arjen Robben,
Fabregas and Kaka - Calderon said: "There's a chance that they will
all be here by the end of my third year in office."
And when queried if that could mean Robben this summer, Fabregas next
year and Kaka the following year, Calderon told newspaper La
Razon: "Well yes, I think so. I don't want to create any false
expectations. "
