Where will Rio end up during the summer transfer window? Me thinks he's up to no good.

You might need other options here, because other than Real, none of these makes sense.
Chelsea already has 3 CB of equal or better quality already. And they need goals.
Barça was obviously made up by Rio's agent for negotiation purposes.
Real I can't comment about because I lack the knowledge. But it couldn't happen to a better team in my extremely biased opinion:)
My feeling is that an Italian club might possible bite on him before any of those listed above.
And I don't see United as wanting to keep him with his salary demands and what could be considered a lack of commitment to the club. If United could get $30 million for Rio considering his baggage, I have to feel that they would jump at this. He's good, but good can be had for a lot less....just look at Heinze.

I heard on Big Soccer Radio yesterday that Real Madrid might
offer 30 million for Rio. To me it is obvious he is now looking
to escape United I say we take the 30 mil and get a legit
keeper and quality midfielder...
