Miloš Krasić is just one of Real Madrid’s potential targets in January transfer window but the negotiations between CSKA and Real are entering the final stage and the deal could be finalized in the next couple of days. The only problem at the moment is that the Russian club wants €20 mil, while Real offered just €10 mil. CSKA is aware that the Spaniards are desperate to make some additions to the squad as they have a lot of injured players and Russians are trying to get as much money as they can. This is something Real will have to deal with in January and we will see how they will cope. However, the latest reports are suggesting that Real are not ready to pay the asking price and that they will only sign Krasić on loan deal in January. Is this just another trick in order for Russians to lower the asking price? You be the judge of that.
Another problem is that the Royal Club has already spent €39 mil and they don’t have a lot of money left for the new players. Still, Krasić is less expensive than some other players linked to Real and he could be a real bargain if CSKA decides to lower their asking price. The Serbian winger has been in great form over the last two years, playing for CSKA and he is key member of Serbian national team. He plays on the right wing and is very good at taking players on. He is highly technical player and can also slot in the centre of midfield, but he would probably be played on the right side of three-man attack in Real. That position is currently occupied by Gonzalo Higuain, while young Miquel Palanca is the only back up. This situation could provide Krasić enough playing time to show what he is capable of, but only if the club management don’t decide to sign any other players in his position. Ashley Young and Aaron Lennon are also linked with a move to Santiago Bernabeu and if either of these players signs for Real Madrid, Krasić would be better off at some other European club.

I guess that in a last couple of weeks, Real Madrid has been connected with at least 50 players. Also, they already have at least 20 world class players in the squad. It is obvious they lack class and they will never be able to buy one…
Considering Lennon and Young…I doubt that English players will move from the best league in the world to Spain. They are born in England and weather conditions are not that big problem for them as for The Slave. Aston Villa won’t sell Young, at least not while O’Neill is in charge, while Lennon is far away from established world class player. Krasic is solid, but inconsistent…he can be a real deal for clubs like Villareal or Sevilla, but not for Real.
