Real Madrid president Perez: We need to cut squad numbers

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez admits they're actively seeking buyers for several of their blown-out squad.

"We want 25 players in the squad for next season and for now with have 35," says Perez. "We must focus our efforts on convincing some of them to go.

"As regards to who else will arrive, I believe that two more signings will be more than enough."

Asked about Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso and Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery, Perez added: "The clubs do not want to sell them. However, in football any situation can change."
