Alphonse Areola is already there, but it’s only half an operation because it’s a loan deal. I am in contact with [general director] Jose Angel Sanchez and I love discussing football and FIFA issues with him because his opinion interests me. I have great hope that one day he will be able to lead a great footballer to Real Madrid," Raiola told MARCA.Â
