Juventus Close To Sign Mahamadou Diarra From Real Madrid
Italian club Juventus reported by Tuttosport is close to sign Real Madrid and Mali international midfielder Mahamadou Diarra. Juve are in talks with Real to transfer Diarra in cost of £10 million.
Diarra has accepted he’s leaving Madrid at the end of the season and said: “I’m ready to accept my transfer.”
Diarra started his career with Greek side OFI Crete and Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem. He played for French club Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon) from 2002 until 2006, winning four Ligue 1 titles. Diarra was compared to top African midfielders like Patrick Vieira and Claude Makélélé. Many people who have worked with him, including former Vitesse Arnhem manager Ronald Koeman, felt that Diarra had the potential to succeed at the highest sporting level, but that he needed to learn how to control his strong temperament.
