Julio Baptista up for sale

Real Madrid midfielder Julio Baptista looks set to leave the Spanish giants at the end of the season; despite a good start of season by the former Arsenal man.

It seems that many media sources including Spanish paper AS are suggesting that Real Madrid may offer a £5 million plus Julio Baptista offer for Brazilian right back Daniel Alves.

Sevilla is Julio Baptista's former club, and the 'Beast' has alwas hinted that he would consider a return to his former club to link up with good friend Luis Fabiano - strangely enough; Fabiano has also been linked with a move away from Sevilla.

Bernd Schuster apparently does not see Baptista in his current plans.
