By IANS,
London : Wigan Athletic’s Antonio Valencia’s agent claims he
has not had any contact with Real Madrid but admits the winger would jump at
the chance to secure a move to the Bernabeu.
Speculation is rife that the Spanish champions are set to offer a $24
million bid for Valencia and are already in discussions with Wigan.
Diego Herrera remained reserved about his client’s future but dropped hints
that the Ecuador international could be off as early as next week.
“It would be a dream for Antonio to move to Real Madrid: a very beautiful
opportunity,” he was quoted as saying by the Independent. “But until there
is something official I don’t want to say anything. They haven’t said
anything to me.”
“When there is an official announcement from someone with authority at
Madrid, called (Pedro) Mijatovic or (Carlos) Bucero, telling us of an offer,
then we will talk. I have understood that Madrid want to close the signing
that they are chasing during the first week of January. We will see what
will happen in the next few days,” he added.
Real Madrid have already made two signings ahead of the January transfer
window, bringing in Lassana Diarra and Klaas Jan Huntelaar.
