I'm sure he wants to go. But it'll take an extraordinary offer by Real, that's for sure. He has a contract until 2020 and there's no release clause ... United hold all the cards here. Pay up or go pound sand. |
If he wants to go, he'll go. How often do clubs end up on the winning side when they try to hold onto players?
