Real Madrid board split over Saviola, Soldado choice

A decision is to be made between keeping Soldado in Madrid or selling him this summer and signing Barcelona's Bosman prospect Javier Saviola, says AS.

The new emerging powerbroker at Real, Jose Angel Sanchez, wants to rock Spain by bringing Argentina international Saviola to the Santiago Bernabeu. However, sports chiefs Pedja Mijatovic and Franco Baldini would prefer to go with Soldado given his success in Pamplona and his international breakthrough this season.

The situation is so tense, that Mijatovic has told friends if he is forced to sign Saviola, he will do so with an accompanying letter of resignation.
