Real Madrid to bid for Juventus' Davids as Queiroz admits December plans

Real Madrid trainer Carlos Queiroz has confirmed the Spanish champs will be active during the January transfer window.

"We are short in too many areas, our plan is to strengthen in December," admitted Queiroz.

The replacement of Claude Makelele is a priority for Real with Juventus ace Edgar Davids emerging as a major target.

Already, Italian press speculation suggests a £10 million offer from Real will be made for the Dutchman, whose contract runs out next June.
