Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez is interested in the team's midfielder Guti. The possibility of acquiring the talented Spaniard, who has been a key player in "Los Galactikos" for some time, has also attracted the attention of several other European clubs.
Although the Madrid club denies selling Guti, it seems that the player himself is inclined to leave "Real" and move to an English team, where he would likely get significantly more playing time. Another factor that could attract Guti to Liverpool is team coach Rafael Benitez, who has already added talents from the Spanish football school to his team, such as Josemi, Fernando Morientes, and Luis Garcia.
There is a possibility that "Real" could offer Guti and a few million euros for Liverpool's midfielder Steven Gerrard, who has been attracting the attention of the Spanish club for a long time. By the way, the Spaniard's contract with "Real" is valid until 2008.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is interested in Costa Rican defender Gilberto Martinez, who currently plays for a different team. Real's technical director, Arrigo Sacchi, has already been to Italy to watch the defender play live.
The 25-year-old player can play in the central and right-back positions. Currently in second place in the Spanish league, "Real" would try to solve a long-standing problem by acquiring G. Martinez - the inconsistent performance of their defenders, which has prevented them from achieving greater success in Spain and in European competitions.
