The controversial Italian national team striker found himself on the verge of being kicked out of the Madrid team. According to the Spanish press, the club's head coach Fabio Capello decided not to allow the football player to train with the main team.
Since A. Cassano joined Madrid's "Real" team, the player constantly struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup.
Last month, the team was strengthened with the promising striker Gonzalo Higuain, who holds French and Argentine citizenship, making it even harder for the Italian to break into the main lineup.
When G. Higuain was asked if his arrival would hasten A. Cassano's departure, he replied: "I came here to win a place in the main team lineup. Cassano being here or not does not change anything."
A. Cassano was recently filmed by a Spanish television channel joking with his teammate Mahamadou Diarra about F. Capello, which further exacerbated the relationship between the player and the coach.
At the beginning of this week, "Real" president Ramonas Calderon admitted that the Italian had failed to adapt to the new environment. It is believed that the striker may be loaned out or sold to another club, as several Italian clubs are interested in him.
