Man Utd chase Madrid star midfielder

Posted on 16. Mar, 2007 by Milox in La Liga, Premiership

It is believed that the Reds will renew their interest in former Lyon midfielder Mahamadou Diarra when the transfer window reopens, yet despite a difficult season at the Bernabeu, the Mali international intends to remain with the club.

“I want to show what I am capable of,” said Diarra. “I arrived at a club with difficulties. In three years nothing had been won, and that is difficult. I want to stay because I am adapting very well to Spanish life.

“I want to finish my contract here. My desire is to show the true Diarra, the one of Lyon. A month ago I wasn’t having my best time and now I am a little better because the team is united. When the team is happy, I am better.”

This news will also come as a blow to Italian giants Juventus, who wanted Diarra to lead their charge back into Serie A next season following their demotion to Serie B last term.
