Zaragoza in Real Madrid talks over Caesar, Portillo

Real Zaragoza are locked in talks with Real Madrid over duo Caesar and Javier Portillo.

Zaragoza have been speaking with Real Madrid for the past week about an outright deal for goalkeeper Caesar. During negotiations, Portillo's availability was also discussed.

Portillo is desperate for regular first team action and is open to the switch.

Zaragoza want an agreement which would see Portillo spend the season on-loan, with a purchase option next June. Real Madrid would prefer an outright sale, which would include first refusal on buying Portillo back.

More talks are scheduled for this morning between the two clubs.
