Real Madrid stays with excess of baggage and just over a week before the start of the Spanish League football steps up efforts to save weight. The accounts are clear: it has 27 chips, you can spare two to fulfill the quota and Wesley Sneijder, Rafal van der Vaart and Miguel Torres are the obvious candidates to exit.
The white club found it easier to pay 94 million euros (134.6 million) by buying Cristiano Ronaldo than the players with no account. Weight was lightened with sales of players like Javier Saviola, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar or μlvaro Negredo, but follows with "surplus".
