With โplayers permitted to officially negotiate with โฃother clubs six monthsโ before their contract expires, Real Madrid is prepared to intensify discussions if a renewal withโฃ Bayern isn’t finalized by theโ new year. Sources in the Spanish capital express confidence in โtheir abilityโ to secure the 25-year-old on a free transfer.
