Real Madrid presidential candidate Lorenzo Sanz has confirmed the name of the England international he claims will be moving to the Spanish capital if he wins the race to become supremo at El Santiago Bernabeu.

Arsenal's Ashley Cole was widely expected to be named, but in a surprising twist, Sanz claims that Michael Carrick is the man who is on his way to Real - should he win the election on Sunday.


Sanz said he had five transfers sealed and, with that, has also named Argentine starlet Fernando Gago, Dutch defender Khalid Boulahrouz, Italian ace Gianluca Zambrotta and Brazil's Emerson as done deals.


"[We have agreements] both with the players and their clubs," Sanz announced at a news conference.


"These players have agreements with my technical staff who, if we win the election, will resign if we are not able to carry out the deals on Monday.


"They are Dutch defender Khalid Boulahrouz, Italian defender Gianluca Zambrotta, England midfielder Michael Carrick, Brazil midfielder Emerson and Argentinian midfielder Fernando Gago, who plays for Boca Juniors."


Sanz is the third candidate to name his targets in the last 48 hours - all of which have had a Premiership flavour and have been met with frosty receptions on these shores.


The first was Juan Miguel Villar Mir who claimed Cristiano Ronaldo was ready to join the club and then Ramon Calderon stated that Chelsea's Arjen Robben will be one of his signings if he wins power.


Both Manchester United and Chelsea were quick and stern in their denials and Tottenham are likely to follow suit over Carrick - who is also a confirmed transfer target for The Red Devils.


Spurs coach Martin Jol has emphatically stated he wants Carrick to remain at White Hart Lane and his attitude is unlikely to have changed in recent weeks.

Surely they can get someone better than Carrick...

[LAF]

Hahaha, English players are overpriced and overrated.

You'll only get Zambo if we get relegated.

[Jose_Mourinho]

Not sure Carrick is even gd enough for Spurs so definately not for Real, i don't believe this at all.

all the presidents say this everytime they are about to be elected, its all bullshit

Laporta said he would sign beckham if he won at barca, he won and look what happened, they didnt sign who they said they would

[Pennywise]

Sainz will not win the election anyway. Last time he runned the ship, they got £200 mill in debt. BUT Sainz have also two La Liga and two CL with Los Merengues.
