Real Madrid unlikely to sell Geremi to Middlesbrough

Real Madrid have told Middlesbrough to cough up £10 million for midfielder Geremi's permanent transfer.

"Unless a super offer arrives for Geremi, we will have him next season," Real's sporting director Jorge Valdano told AS.

"In the Premier League he has proved himself at a great level and he can be very useful to Madrid."

"The same contribution that Guti gives a team from the midfield to the attack, he (Geremi) can give from the midfield to the back."
