Dudek set for Madrid
-
Jerzy Dudek is poised to sign for Spanish giants Real Madrid on a free transfer.
The Polish goalkeeper was released by Liverpool at the end of last season after failing to dislodge Pepe Reina from his position as the club's number one 'keeper.
Dudek had been courted by Feyenoord, but the lure of La Liga and the Bernabeu has proved impossible to resist.
"On Sunday or Monday I will fly to Spain to pass medicals," he said. "On the same day I will sign a contract and will be presented as a new Real player. I hope so and I am really happy with this.
"The offer from Real overshadowed all the others. I was considering a return to Feyenoord, Jacek Krzynowek was encouraging me to join him at Wolfsburg, an interesting offer from a respected newly promoted Premiership club appeared and I was also thinking of moving to Portugal.
"However, when Real showed interest I was very proud and did not think long."

Quite frankly, Dudek still has alot to offer as a first choice 'keeper for other clubs than warming RM's bench.
That said, Dudek has been a great servant to the Reds. Thank you. -
Bizarre on why he chose to be on the bench rather than first team football .
He's still young for a goalkeeper , i don't remember how old Peter Schmichel retired when he hanged up his gloves at Man City ?
He can only hope for some cups action in Spain ....
He can never be No 1 over Casillas ! -
