Doubts have emerged over Real Madrid’s capture of Valencia defender Raul Albiol.
Sport says Albiol has hardly greeted his move to Madrid with any great enthusiasm and could only muster yesterday: "It was something that was best for all parties."
Real chiefs can't understand a player not jumping out of his skin to move to the Santiago Bernabeu, but Albiol was happy to continue playing at Valencia and was not actively seeking a move away.
It's suggested Albiol took several days before deciding to accept the move, knowing that Valencia needed the cash too lift the pressure off their massive debts.
