Valdano: Real Would Prefer To Keep Solari

Real Madrid sports director Jorge Valdano says his side would like to keep Santiago Solari if possible.

The Argentine could move to Inter in January as part of the deal that saw Ronaldo join the Merengues.

"At this time we'd prefer to keep him instead of receiving the 10 million euros that a transfer would bring us," said Valdano.

"We still have over a month before deciding and waiting to see what Inter, Real and the player decides. He must give his opinion."

Valdano also confirmed Real's interest in Walter Samuel and Gabriel Milito.
