Arsenal midfielder Cesc
Fabregas has again been linked with a move to Real Madrid in the
Spanish press after admitting that a return to La Liga is
'possible'.
The departure of Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein has led to
suggestions that Arsene Wenger could also leave the club, which in
turn has sparked rumours that a number of players close to the
Frenchman will follow him.
As a result of the internal strife, Spanish daily AS believes Real
will attempt to prise the young Spaniard away from Emirates Stadium
this summer, with the youngster apparently viewed as their key
target.
Fabregas was in Madrid for a commercial event and, although he said
he had not had contact with the Spanish club, he did speak of his
admiration for the side.
"I have never had contact with the director of Real Madrid," he
told the Spanish press.
"The Bernabeu is an impressive stadium. It is possible that I could
return to La Liga at any time."
However, Fabregas has denied the claims that a move is imminent,
saying he sees his immediate future with The Gunners.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid striker Robinho has announced his intention
to quit professional football at the age of 30 to teach young
children how to play the game.
The 23-year-old Brazil star intends to finish his career with
former club Santos and then to help youngsters.
"My idea is to play professional football until the age of 30,
retire at Santos and then dedicate myself to teaching football to
young children," he told the South American press.
"I want to return to Santos to win the Copa Libertadores before
hanging up my boots."
For now, however, Robinho is focused only on helping Real, and
feels he is starting to settle in at the club.
"Obviously, I don't like to spend so much time sitting on the bench
because, like all players, I want to be on the pitch.
"I hope I can help my team in each match as I feel more secure now
and want to be able to do my bit."
