It's barely springtime and there is already talk of cleaning house at Real Madrid.
It appears that team president Ramon Calderon will be trying to offload a ton of talent come season's end, regardless of how Los Merengues do.
Those said to be offered up for big bucks are Julio Baptista, Michel Salgado, Mahamadou Diarra, Roberto Soldado, Javier Saviola, Christoph Metzelder, Jerzy Dudek and Fabio Cannavaro.
Cannavaro, 34, has always expressed the desire to return to his beloved Napoli, where he started his career, and this might be his chance...if they can afford him.
Either way, somebody somewhere will pay a handsome fee for his talents, as well as those of the other players thought to be leaving. There's a lot of talent on that list.
Looks like the Real Madrid locker room will be echoing with the sounds of 'Addios amigos!' pretty soon.
