Real Madrid set to axe a whole host of talent.

Real Madrid are reportedly looking to axe a whole host of talented players as they continue to make room for the Madrid revolution that is currently taking place at the club. Madrid have splashed out over £130 million on two players so far this summer and club president, Florentino Perez, wants players sold so the buying can carry on.

The likes of Arjen Robben, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Gabriel Heinze are all said to be going on the transfer list as Madrid look to make initial funds to go with the reported 300 million euros that Perez is said to be personally funding. A whole host of Premier League clubs should be on red alert as offers are likely to flood in for the players.

Madrid are still locked in negotiations over Valencia striker, David Villa, as his current club want £40 million for his services, a figure that Madrid have refused to meet. It could well act as proof that Madrid do not currently have bottomless pockets and it seems that they will accept offers on nearly anyone in the squad in order to make a number of other moves near certainties.

It is a strange move because it seems to damage the immediate future of the club. Huge signings are one thing but the matter that propels a club to success is the quality that lies in the fringes of the squad. A lot of these players being talked about can play a big part for Madrid and they would do a very good job if they went to another side. Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo may be the best players in the world but they cannot hold a side together by themselves.

Furthermore, maybe Perez should not promise the players arriving at Madrid stupid amounts of money and fortune. This would mean that they would not be forced to sell some of the club’s most influential players in order to facilitate the Glacticos dream of one man.

Barcelona seem to have wasted no time at all as it has been confirmed that they are also in talks about signing David Villa, meaning that Madrid could miss out on one of their most prominent targets due to some blanket and blitz decision making.

Van Nistelrooy would be a terrific signing for any club that wishes to go for him. Spurs are reported to be readying a bid but the Dutchman seems keen to stay where he is and does not appear to have lost a single bit of his touch in front of goal. When he is fit again he would be one of the first names down on that Madrid starting line up and the Spanish club needs to remember just how influential some of these players can be before they start axing them left, right and centre.

Nobody would blame a club sniping in and snapping up a Madrid player who would be better served trying to earn some good success at a lesser club than being a small fish in a big pond at Madrid. A lot of people said that this big spending would have repercussions and this could be the start of it.
