Gerrard a Madrid target if De Rossi fails
After agreeing terms on a £40m four-year deal (as detailed here in The Sunday Times), Jose Mourinho has already discussed Real Madrid transfer targets with club president Florentino Perez, with the focus being on new players who will bring greater defensive stability to the Spanish club.
Inter full-back Maicon could be the first signing of the Mourinho era at the Bernabeu, with Roma`s Daniele De Rossi a high priority for the midfield. If a move for the 26 year old Italian international fails, Florentino Perez and Mourinho will turn their attention to Steven Gerrard. The Liverpool midfielder said yesterday "I won`t consider my future or think about what is going to happen to me until after the World Cup. After the World Cup you have three or four weeks of holiday to consider what the next best move will be for you."
