"Luis Figo will sign for Real Madrid – and on Wednesday he will be presented as Real’s new star. Real Madrid’s new president Florentino Pérez told Spanish newspaper “as”: “I’ve ordered Figo not to talk to the media until Wednesday, when he will be presented at a press conference.”
Luis Figo was one of the biggest stars at Euro 2000 and the Portuguese player has been linked to several clubs – among them Lazio.
Now Figo is set to continue his Spanish adventure and leaves Barcelona for the other giant in Spain, Real Madrid.
During Monday Figo visited his close friend and fellow countryman Paulo Futre in Portugal to prepare for the big presentation in Madrid.
Figo also arranged the last details in the contract together with Florentino Pérez.
Real Madrid’s vice president Fernando Fernandez Tapias, one of the richest men in Spain, also confirmed that Figo should be signing the contract with the club.
The deal is controversial since Figo, together with Guardiola, are the symbols of Barcelona.
The question now is how the Real Madrid fans will react to the transfer, since Figo had earlier said that he would never play for the club – and that he feels as though he is a Catalonian."
My comment: If Figo is signing for Real (just that makes me dream nightmares) he could do it in a lot better way. He could have told us the truth ("I will leave...), he could´ve shut up ("----") but now he seems to have promised, as late as last week, that he loved Barca and would definitely not move, no matter who won the election at Real.
So IF he now moves, he has lied to the fans of our beloved Barca, the fans who loved him so much, in a way that doesn´t need any more comments.
BUT, at the other hand, I´ve also learned that much of the news published nowadays, are nothing but rubbish. We´ll see tomorrow.
