Real confirm Gerrard as a target
Real confirm Gerrard as a target

Real Madrid's footballing director Benito Floro has confirmed that Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is on their list of transfer targets.

Gerrard, 25, signed a new four-year contract last summer to end speculation linking him with a move to Chelsea.

Real have targeted England midfielder Gerrard and Inter Milan striker Adriano as "priority" signings.

Floro told Spanish radio station Cadena Star: "Gerrard is a player on the list that we wanted to sign previously."

Real are keen to add fresh blood to an ageing squad after enduring a third successive season with a trophy.

Floro added: "I've recommended as priority signings a powerful central striker like Adriano and a top midfielder in case Zinedine Zidane leaves."

France World Cup winner Zidane has a one-year option after this season and will make a decision on a return to the Bernabeu after this summer's World Cup.

Gerrard looked set to join Chelsea last summer but changed his mind at the last moment to sign his new deal at Liverpool.

There has been no suggestion Gerrard is keen to leave Anfield, although a move to Real would enable him to link up with England captain David Beckham and defender Jonathan Woodgate.

Liverpool boss Benitez, previously the coach at Valencia, had been mentioned by Real as a possible contender to take over from current boss Juan Roman Lopez Caro

I'd be very surprised, but never say never - especially with Gerrard.

Re: Real confirm Gerrard as a target
I dont reckon he'll go but it can't be ruled out. Maybe Rafa will taunt him with it and talk about arranging a deal with Madrid just to let Steve know how it feels.

I really can't see him going after his best ever season and with whats happened for the past two years.

Re: Real confirm Gerrard as a target
I hope he does go. With 40 million to spend we'd be be truly on our way. Plus, he unbalances the side.

I could understand Rafa accepting 40 million if Gerrard wanted to go, but to say he unbalances the side is just daft.

Re: Real confirm Gerrard as a target
Fuck Real Madrid. I think people around here don't hate them as much as they deserve. They're the Scum of Spain - a fascistic wank stain on the European continent. But I wouldn't rule out The Ego going there...

After the season he's just had, that's a very odd thing to say. We lacked balance before Rafa switched him to the right. Since then, however, we've been the best balanced Liverpool team in years and years. Furthermore, his egotistical theatrics of last year seem to be firmly in abeyance. I'd have sold Gerrard last summer in an instant, but to do so now would be madness - unless he wants to go; he's one of the best players in the world.

Yeah but footballers aren't interested in money.

Re: Real confirm Gerrard as a target
About the only medal he has still to collect is a Premiership medal - he can't get one of those with Madrid - why would he go there?
