The mirror is running with a story that once Madrid hires Rafa, Raheem will be his primary target.
If we do sell him - and in all likelihood we will - I think this will be an ideal move.
* We won't have to face him twice a year
* It's Rafa, he always helps us out as he showed with Chelsea (Studge)
* We'd probably get a better fee (40-50 million)
That being said - it also probably means he'll be back in England within 2-3 years as he won't play much there and despite the weather, ladies etc - he'll come back home ... So Chelsea or City ...
