MALAGA READY TO SIGN BRAZILIAN DIEGO

Malaga are reportedly ready to offer Wolfsburg's want-away playmaker Diego a way out of the club.

After a largely disastrous spell with Juventus in Serie A, Diego returned to the Germany with Wolfsburg at the start of last season and was expected to shine, having previously played in the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen.

Instead, his season was ruined with poor form and ill discipline; culminated by a row with manager Felix Magath after the Brazilian midfielder refused to sit on the bench after being named as a substitute for a league match, storming off before the game.

Diego has since revealed he is ready to leave the club and would even consider a return to Brazil, but according to reports, Malaga are ready to take a gamble on the 26-year-old.

Malaga have been financially competent since the 2010 takeover by Qatari Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani, who has grand plans for the club whom he hopes can soon test the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga.

The club's objective has been highlighted by their recruiting plans so far this summer, with a host of reputed names already arriving at La Rosaleda.

Dutch internationals Ruud van Nistelrooy and Joris Mathijsen were early arrivals, before the club landed veteran French international Jeremy Toulalan from Lyon.

Ex-Spain star Joaquin soon followed, before up-and-coming left-back Nacho Monreal and Argentinean starlet Diego Buonanotte followed suit.

Should Diego arrive at Malaga as well, the club could be on the verge of assembling a squad capable of challenging for La Liga glory in the years to come.
