Patrick Vieira zu Real Madrid?

Spanish radio claims Real Madrid have agreed a £23.1m fee with Arsenal for midfielder Patrick Vieira.

But according to the Cadena SER station, the Gunners have asked for a few days to line up a replacement.

The English champions have already been linked with Porto midfielder Maniche, who starred for Portugal in Euro 2004.

Prisa, the media group that owns Diario AS and Cadena SER, has an investment in

Real Madrid TV and is thought to be close to the Bernabeu outfit.

Vieira has been the subject of transfer speculation linking him with Real Madrid for most of the summer.

Bought from AC Milan for £3.5m eight years ago, the 28-year-old has not commented on a possible move to the Bernabeu.

But Gunners boss Arsene Wenger stated at the weekend that he believes the player will stay at Highbury.

Arsenal's Robert Pires has revealed Patrick Vieira has finally decided to quit Highbury and move to Real Madrid.

Arsene Wenger wants Vieira to clarify his future but Pires claims he has already made up his mind to leave.

Pires said: "All the players wanted Patrick to stay but he has made a choice and we respect that. We can all understand why he's decided to go."

"His sale will leave a huge void in the middle of our side but we can adapt to a life without his leadership."

Pires added: "I'd just wish him all the luck in the world at the Bernabeu."

The comments are the most revealing indication yet of the potential next chapter in the ongoing saga.

Wenger has now admitted he would allow Vieira to leave the club - at the right price and if he handed in a transfer request - even though he still wants him to stay.

Monday's Spanish newspapers interpreted those remarks as effectively throwing in the towel, given that Real rarely, if ever, fail to snare their leading transfer target each summer.

glaub ned das er geht!

Sieht aus als hätte Real das Angebot zurückgezogen. Arsenal will plötzlich 38 Mio. € Ablöse anstatt 33 Mio. €.

Morgen erwartet man die endgültige Entscheidung Vieiras.

Sieht aus als hätte Real das Angebot zurückgezogen. Arsenal will plötzlich 38 Mio. € Ablöse anstatt 33 Mio. €.

Also wenn Real wegen den lächerlichen 5 Mio. €, für den wahrscheinlich besten defensiven Mittelfeldspieler der Welt, den Transfer platzen läßt, kann ihnen eh mehr keiner helfen. Das lächerlichste für mich wäre ja wenn sie Owen verpflichten und Vieira bleibt wirklich bei Arsenal, so dumm kann ja wirklich nur Real sein. Patrick ist genau der Spieler den Real zurzeit braucht. Seitdem Makelele den Verein verlassen hat und Beckham seine Position spielt, geht nichts mehr bei den Königlichen. Sollte Vieira kommen, ist mit Real leider wieder voll zu rechnen im Kampf um die CL.

Vieira Move Off?

8/13/2004 9:19:00 AM

Real Madrid have broken off negotiations to buy Patrick Vieira from Arsenal, according to reports in the Spanish media.

The Spanish newspaper As has reported on its website that Real are unhappy because the fee for the player rose sharply on Thursday.

Sources said the fee had gone up from 33 million euros (£22 million) to 38 million euros (£25.5 million) plus 5 million euros (£3.4 million) in bonuses.

Real first offered around £20 million, while Arsenal reportedly wanted at least £28 million.

Other reports say the deal has hit a snag over Vieira’s salary demands – though according to this version of events (as reported for example in the Daily Telegraph), the deal is “not yet completely irretrievable.”

However, it seems probable that negotiations, if they are resurrected, between Real and Vieira’s agent, Steve Kutner, and Real and Arsenal, will not be completed in time for the new France captain to be paraded this weekend – when Michael Owen is now expected to be presented to Real’s fans.

Vieira bleibt bei Arsenal

Arsenal-Kapitän Patrick Vieira spielt auch in der kommenden Saison für den englischen Meister. "Wir freuen uns, dass Patrick die Mannschaft auch in Zukunft zu großen Erfolgen führen wird", wurde am Freitag verlautbart. Der 28-jährige französische Teamspieler war heftig von Real Madrid umworben worden. Arsenal hatte die geforderte Ablösesumme aber um drei Millionen auf 38 Mio. Euro erhöht, daraufhin wurden die Verhandlungen abgebrochen.
