"We have needs and we will try to satisfy them with more signings which must make us better," Valdano said in comments published on the club's website.

"But we are beholden to the market and things are not as fluid as we would like," he added after Kaka became the Liga club's first signing under new president Florentino Perez.

"We will be working on purchases and sales at the same time and see then what squad we are left with, certainly a better one than last season which is the main aim," said Valdano.

Madrid have been linked with several players, including Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery, Internazionale's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Valencia's David Villa.

  4. With Kaka officially a Madrid player, Perez will most­ probably sign David Villa for 34 million + Negredo.­ Silva and Albiol may also bacome the subject of large­ cash + player deals. Ribery and Ronaldo are also in­ Perez's sights, Van Der Vaart and Robben/Snejder­ may become part of the deal as new coach Van Gaal is a­ big fan of all 3. Cristaino Ronaldo is more complicated­ as Ronaldo wants 2 move however Man Utd are angry that­ Madrid have made their interest public and will demand­ upwards of 75 million pounds.

    Barcelona are set for a­ busy summer with Zlatan Ibrahimovic their main target.­ They are willing to offer Inter Eto'o and Yaya­ Toure 4 Ibra and left–back Maxwell. This could well b­ accepted as Patrick Viera is set 2 join Lyon and Inter­ will need a replacement. Inter's interest in­ Eto'o goes back some years and since Ibra has been­ speaking out about Inter's lack of success in the­ CL he mayb on his way along with Maxwell who has fallen­ behind the new Paolo Maldini–Davide Santon.­ Barcelona's other target is Mascherano who is­ hugely admired by Guardiola and is willing 2 offer 25­ million pounds which could b enough as Liverpool have a­ tailor–made replacement in Javi Martinez.

    Xabi Alonso­ will not leave Liverpool, and Real Madrid have publicly­ admitted defeat as they have Gago,L.Diarra and M.Diarra­ while promising midfielder De La Red may b forced 2­ retire due 2 a heart defect. Higuain,­ Ramos,L.Diarra,Gago,Pepe,Casillas and Raul are all­ untouchables and will form a part of the new­ Galacticos.

  5. May new generation of galactico be reality.

  6. i think all the list is impossible maybe two of them­ could be possible zalatan linkes with barca &­ chelsea i think REAL can be more powerful than these­ years i think the most important things in real is­ changing coach i love real and i will always love.
    real­ is changing will the great florentina i hope that he­ can change the team eliminate the nl players

  7. i have a season ticket at the stretched bum end and its­ a joke watching fall over his own feet

  8. take ronny off our hands i am sick of seeing him dive­ week in week out he belongs to madrid

    From allmanufansrgay1, on Tue 9 Jun 7:55PM
  9. I think Calderon had made a deal last year to get­ Racing's Garay to come next season. He and Pepe are­ similar players. Tall and physical. can guard almost­ anyone. But they still need some1 on the left flank,­ instead of that old and soft Heinze. Marcelo has­ talent, but not that good defensively.

  10. real madrid are pure annoying. Raiding all the top­ clubs of the best talent. Wheres the competion going to­ come from?? I hope barcalona take the oppurtunity to­ sure up there defensive, and triumph next year!

    From ryanathompson10, on Tue 9 Jun 6:42PM
  11. real need carvalho from us if they want a solid­ defence. he'd be perfect in spain. let us take­ villa and you can take him as we have great defence

    From yip, on Tue 9 Jun 6:31PM
  12. I am a fan of barca and I want them to buy some­ attacker and some defender. I wouldn't want a­ situation where it will all be one sided. There is a­ need for the team to balance up in order to make the­ game interesting

  14. Barca is not gonna have any better season than this.­ Barca fans may from now on go on vacation for few­ years. That if you don't wanna have heart attack,­ diabety, or any other health issues that will result­ from seeing Barca getting some slaps from THE­ GALACTICOS. Forget about the @#$% 6-2 of this year.­ it's a past now

    From mehdi y, on Tue 9 Jun 5:55PM
  15. David Villa, Silva, Ribery, and Ronaldo and that should­ do the job for the offense. we don't need that­ overrated Ibra. Let Barca take him!
    After that we­ surely need two more defense maybe agger and vidic­ should be on the list

    From mehdi y, on Tue 9 Jun 5:51PM
  16. 1 and 2 make great point real may score more but cant­ see how signing kaka will stop barca scoring 6 and­ liverpool scoring 4

    From Jimmyrice man u are champs again, on Tue 9 Jun 5:44PM
  17. Real should rope in Ribery and Zlatan. Even though­ Robben, Higuan were on the ranks, Real line up lacked­ the sting when they took Barca last season. Being a­ Barca fan, I would like to see a more gritty Real than­ the current line up. If Ramos opts to move out, Real­ might have some serious 'defence' problems..­ Barca will rope in Benzema and Macherano... coming­ season.

  18. Cool but their defense will still suck........they can­ have all the forwards in the world but their defense is­ without a doubt shyt...
