Real rule out Gerrard move

Real's transfer consultant Ernesto Bronzetti revealed that president Florentino Perez is not keen to add Anfield skipper Gerrard to his new Galaticos squad due to his age and whopping price tag.

"Kaka will stay at Real, but the president does not agree with Gerrard because he is 30 and Perez doesn't want to know," Bronzetti told GR Parlamento.

"Plus, Liverpool asked for €70 million."


Gerrard's future at Anfield has been questioned following Liverpool's dismal 2009/10 campaign that saw the Reds fail to qualify for the Champions League, which ultimately brought an end to Rafael Benitez's six-year tenure.

Another potential Galatico who will not be arriving in the Spanish capital next season is Inter Milan's Brazilian right-back Maicon, much to the 28-year-old's disappointment.

"Mourinho is convinced to leave Sergio Ramos on the right and now he wants a central defender or midfielder like Gerrard," Bronzetti continued.



"Real did not make an offer for Maicon, there was a request of €35 million from Inter."

"What I want is to play at Madrid and for me it would be an honour to be able to do that because I've already said it would be a great opportunity in my career.

"I have a great relationship with [Mourinho] and for me it would be nice to be able to play under him again."
