I think Real Madrid have a very good chance of winning the champions league, they certainly don`t need Rooney to achieve that. Also from what iv`e read i doubt they were that interested, maybe Mourinho said a few things but remember that`s Mourinho and things work differently in Spain
From Real Madrid director general Jorge Valdano
Quote:
When asked about Rooney, Valdano was quoted as saying on Telemadrid: "Madrid have two great strikers; Higuain and Cristiano, who already showed last season that they are capable of scoring 60 goals between them.
"As well as that there are Di Maria and Ozil, who are going to help these two goalscorers. The question is, who would we move aside if we signed another striker?"
When asked if Madrid did not need another striker, Valdano said: "It's not a debate in Madrid. Mourinho had to come out and stop these types of rumours. And as well as that, Benzema has not had the last word."
On in-form Spain frontman Llorente, Valdano added: "I like him, but from that to finding him a place in Madrid, that won't be easy. Every season there will be a new player, but it doesn't always have to be a centre-forward.
"Llorente is improving a lot and he is ready for new experiences, but often the media are discussing things that are not happening in the club."
It remains to be seen if things change over the course of the season, but Valdano also confirmed that the Bernabeu club will not be doing business in the January transfer window.
"In January there will be neither ins nor outs. June is a long way away," he said.
