Fantasy football for Florentino Perez as Real Madrid chief's dream XI is revealed - and Ronaldo's in
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez's dream team was named in Spanish newspaper Marca at the weekend.
It really is a fantasy XI (or XII - he apparently can't decide between Raul and Ribery: what a chore) but, with a reported transfer budget of 300million euros, it could become a reality.
Sportsmail looks at what the potential new breed of Galacticos would cost, and the possible repercussions if they signed on the dotted line.
Perez has indicated he would have to sell nine or 10 players to get his dream starting line-up, so what impact would that have on the transfer market?
FLORENTINO'S FANTASY TEAM
Iker Casillas
Age: 28
Current club: Real Madrid
National team: Spain
Estimated value: Spanish newspapers reported a £129m offer fromManchester City last December, but the goalkeeper has signed a contractto keep him at the Bernebeu until 2017.
Likelihood: 100%. The goalkeeper has been touted as a potential newcaptain and has expressed his desire to see more Spanish players at theclub. Casillas, of course, is the Spain goalkeeper.
Sergio Ramos
Age: 23
Current club: Real Madrid
National team: Spain
Estimated value: The right-back cost £18m when he moved from Seville four years ago and is under contract until 2013, but has indicated he wants to end his career at Madrid.
Likelihood: 90%. Inter Milan defender Maicon has been linked with a move to the Bernebeu, meaning Ramos could switch to a more central defensive role. But whether the Brazil player arrives or not (for a reported £20m), Ramos should stay.
Pepe
Age: 23
Current club: Real Madrid
National team: Portugal
Estimated value: The Brazil-born player cost £20m and was given a five-year contract in July 2007.
Likelihood: 90%. The central defender's histrionics against Getafe mean he will be banned for the first four games of next season, but his height and pace would be missed by Real.
Raul Albiol
Age: 23
Current club: Valencia
National team: Spain
Estimated cost: Reports suggest an inflated buy-out clause of £50m, but £15m may be nearer the mark.
Likelihood: 75%. Valencia's financial woes - staggering debts of £474m - and the absence of Champions League football may provoke Albiol to jump ship.
Liverpool and Barcelona are also said to be interested.
Marcelo
Age: 21
Current club: Real Madrid
National team: Brazil
Estimated value: A reported £5m signing in 2007.
Likelihood: 95%. Back in favour, Marcelo should continue his Madrid renaissance next season.
Xabi Alonso
Age: 27
Current club: Liverpool
National team: Spain
Estimated cost: The midfield player has three years left on his contract at Anfield and Rafa Benitez will be reluctant to let him leave for less than £25m.
Likelihood: 60%. Will Alonso opt to stay in the north-west with a move to Manchester City, or will Real seize him from Mark Hughes' grasp?
Liverpool's failure to land Gareth Barry may have put a spanner in the works, but Benitez may be tempted to cash in on Alonso to free up some transfer cash.
David Silva
Age: 23
Current club: Valencia
National team: Spain
Estimated cost: Another £25m target for Real Madrid.
Likelihood: 70%. Again, Valencia's financial plight will play a part, but Liverpool are also interested in Silva (near left).
Kaka
Age: 27
Current club: AC Milan
National team: Brazil
Estimated cost: £56m fee, £200,000 a week. The numbers are mind-boggling.
Likelihood: 95%. Seemingly a done deal.
Franck Ribery
Age: 26
Current club: Bayern Munich
National team: France
Estimated cost: Another potential record fee. Reports last week suggested Manchester United had offered £63m, but Bayern's general manager Uli Hoeness has set an asking price of 100m euros (£87.5m).
Likelihood: 70%. Real have the cash, but Manchester United will be looking for a replacement if Ronaldo leaves.
Raul
Age: 31
Current club: Real Madrid
National team: Spain
Estimated value: Contracted until the end of 2011 and unlikely to leave to club he has played for all his life.
Likelihood: 95%. Less instrumental than in his prime, but can still play a role for Real. Reportedly turned down interest from Manchester City last month.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Age: 24
Current club: Manchester United
National team: Portugal
Estimated cost: There's talk of an £80m 'agreement' between Old Trafford and the Bernebeu for CR7 to move to Spain.
Likelihood: 80%. The will-he, won't-he saga continues, with Ronaldo playing a much more subtle game than last summer.
David Villa
Age: 27
Current club: Valencia
National team: Spain
Estimated cost: £30m.
Likelihood: 70%. Valencia want £40m for the striker, but Real have the bargaining power, though Chelsea will be a rival.
And the ones who could miss out...Ruud van NistelrooyStruggled with a knee injury this season and isn't getting any younger, but Fulham and Spurs are said to be interested in the 32-year-old striker.
Arjen Robben
Bayern are reported to be floating a swap deal that would see Robben and fellow Dutchman Wesley Sneijder move to Germany in exchange for Ribery. Manchester City are also lurking, but the former Chelsea player has indicated he would rather stay at Real.
Gabriel Heinze
Another potential Liverpool target, possibly in a part-exchange deal that would see Alonso going the other way.
Rafael van der Vaart
The Dutchman hasn't exactly shone in his year at the Bernebeu and Perez could offload him before his value depletes further. Bayern Munich are said to be interested.
Michel Salgado
'I do not decide if I will be playing for Real Madrid next year. It's up to the new coach,' he told the club's official website. A move to Qatar could be on the horizon. Once on Manchester United's radar, but now past it at 33.
Jerzey Dudek
The former Liverpool stopper is out of contract and has been linked with a move back to another of his old clubs, Feyenoord.
