He could not extend. He wants to play.

Remember that Mourinho wasn't really playing him until the second half of the season.

Either Mourinho (and by extension the club) follows through on the promise to get him more playing time and the extension is a formality, or he remains on the fringes another season in which case I would begrudge him wanting to move on at all.

"Today I made an important step in my career, I am now a player of Leverkusen for the next five seasons," Carvajal wrote on his Twitter page.

"I hope to improve as a player and be able to return to Madrid in the future, when I am ready to be a part of their first team."

Carvajal, a product of Madrid's youth ranks, had been tipped to break into Madrid's senior squad next season to provide cover for Alvaro Arbeloa.

Haha, he's definitely thinking about playing his ass off and coming back here in a year or two.

He should've gushed a little more when he was available
Bayern realy rub me the wrong way, pedantic Bavarian fuc*ers always have something to say about RM... to be quite frank, Frank B. is just as arrogant as Crujff, so again... that rubs me the wrong way.

The guys had visitors from MLB today at the training, and this was said: "They're not very good, except for one, Xabi, who has really surprised me to tell the truth. He told me he has practised on the batting machine and played a little, and the truth is it shows. He hit very well."

Is there anything this man isn't able to do to perfection?

Congratulations to the kid. He's only been great for us.

The reason I am willing to let Diarra go with only Khedira is the only true defensive presense in midfield is because of Varane. Him being there means Pepe could move to midfield if needed.
