Real Madrid Sign Van Der Vaart & Cannavaro wants contract extension
Written by Adam Bader on Saturday, 26 July 08, 09:56 AM
Although Hamburg has officially refused Real Madrid's bid for Van Der Vaart, it has been confirmed to several Spanish newspapers that the Dutch man will soon join the team. A few days ago, Ramon Calderon, confirmed the news too and he said that Van Der Vaart would arrive for a fee in the region of €6 million.
One the other hand, the German club can do nothing about it as the Dutchman's contract expires next season and then he can go to any club, so it would be logical for them just to collect some cash now. Technically, Van Der Vaart is a good player, pretty much like Sneijder, as we saw him in the Euro, he is effective, he can scores goals from many angles, he is fast, and I hear he is like Beckham when it comes to discipline.
His arrival means, that Guti will spend most of his remaining life on the bench which I'd like very much since Guti performs phenomenally whenever he comes in. I'd say this is a good signing, we got him for a good price, and I'd also say this is better than getting Ronaldo at least for now.
Fabio Cannavaro says that he wants to extends his contract. This actually contradicts the fact that he wants to come back home to Napoli, but maybe he thinks that he would just retire after the World Cup with both Italy and Real Madrid.
"Of course without any problem (whether he would extend his contract)," he told El Mundo.
"Before talking to another team we will talk to Real.
"Here before matches there is laughter, music and joy.
"If you smile in Italy you run the risk of being accused of not being ready for the match."
Personally, I'd love to see Cannavaro for at least one more year, he is one of the best defenders on the planet and I believe that Real still need him right now. Speedy recovery Fabio!
Alright, thats about it.
More tomorrow

In my humble opinion, Van Der Vaart is way too better than Diego and more consistent too.

6 million euros = 9.4098 million U.S. dollars, If Hamburg doesn't sell, we can take him next year for just one million
