Real Must Sell To Sign Chivu

A Real Madrid spokesman has revealed that the club must trim their squad down to 25 before they can sign Christian Chivu.

"Only the exit of the players we do not want until the group stands at 25 would open the door," said Enrique Sanchez, spokesman for Real's board of directors.

So it is clear that Real general manager Jorge Valdano must release at least six players in order to sign Ajax's talented Romanian defender who would cost around 20 million euros.
