MADRID - Monaco have agreed to sign Mali
midfielder Mahamadou Diarra from Real Madrid, the two clubs said
on Thursday.
The deal depends on the 29-year-old Diarra agreeing personal
terms and passing a medical with the player due to arrive in the
principality on Thursday night, the French club said on their
website.
Diarra has barely featured under Real coach Jose Mourinho
since the Portuguese arrived at the Bernabeu from Inter Milan at
the end of last season.
He has not started any of Real's La Liga games, coming on as
a substitute three times and playing just 30 minutes in total.
After moving from Olympique Lyon, he made his Real debut in
in August 2006.
