Rivaldo Could Go To Real Madrid For Free
Speculation is mounting in Spain about Rivaldo's future at FC Barcelona: it seems the player could be given away to Real Madrid in a cost-cutting move by the Catalans.
Speculation is mounting in Spain about Rivaldo's future at FC Barcelona: it seems the player could be given away to Real Madrid in a cost-cutting move by the Catalans.
The Pentacampeao is linked with a free transfer to Real, who are unwilling to pay a dime for him given his huge wages demands, believed to be at around €8m per year.
Wounds between the palyer and coach Louis Van Gaal are still sore, and that could push Rivaldo out of Barça.
"There is no Rivaldo situation as far as we're concerned," Real Madrid director Jorge Valdano said. "Rivaldo is a Barcelona player and this is all just newspaper speculation. "If Rivaldo were to become free that could interest us, though. We're always interested in the world's best players."
