Dutch star Drenthe is Madrid bound.


Royston Drenthe, the Most Valuable Player for the European U-21 Championship, may not have his dreams of playing for FC Barcelona fulfilled at present, as the youngster is reportedly being snapped for 14 Million Euros by Barcelona's Spanish Rivals, Real Madrid. Drenthe, who has the love of Barcelona at heart, but may not be able to sign for the Blaugrana due to the current cluster of super-skilled players, among them youthful talents like Drenthe in the mould of goal machine Bojan Krkic and highly talented Giovanni Dos Santos, is set to move to the Spanish La Liga, perhaps as a first step towards coming closer to his target club, FC Barcelona. Drenthe's club, Feyenoord of Holland, had initially slapped an 18 Million Euro fee on the Dutch youth star, a situation which the managers of Drenthe refused and preferred to consult their legal advisers. After the meeting, Feyenoord seems to have agreed on the Madrid offer after closer scrutiny of Royston's contract in Feyenoord was made, but not without any over bearing detail searching or further legal pursuits as feared earlier. The deal is yet to be finalised as no official signing has yet been made by Drenthe in Madrid's player contract papers.
