Final decisions would be taken in the next couple of days regarding the transfer to Real Madrid of Cristi Chivu, one of the best Romanian football players, Spanish newspaper AS announced on Sunday.

The paper argues that even though Chivu’s club, AS Roma reached an agreement to 18 million euro transfer, the issue is the offer for Chivu’s salary of 5 million euro per season.

Victor Becali, the player’s agent, argued for the Spanish paper that most surely, Chivu will not accept the offer.

In the following days, there will be a new round of negotiations with the football player, as Real’s director are determined to persuade Chivu in giving up some of his financial expectations.

If negotiations fail with Chivu, Real will make an offer to a Brazilian player, Alex, reads AS.
