Roy Keane could be set to end speculation over his future by signing for Real Madrid.

Reports emanating from Spain claim Keane is close to signing a short-term deal at El Santiago Bernabeu and that he has even undergone a medical at the Spanish giants.

The Irishman has been weighing up his options after sensationally quitting Manchester United last month.

A host of clubs have been chasing the former Republic of Ireland international with Keane proving an attractive proposition because of his free transfer status.

Keane was thought to be holding out for a move to boyhood heroes Celtic, but it appears they are struggling to finance a deal for the midfielder.

Everton, Bolton, West Ham, Portsmouth and Middlesbrough have all expressed an interest in him, but it appears Real are to win the race for his signature.

President Florentino Perez is believed to be a big fan of Keane and is ready to offer him a six-month deal until the end of the season with his position being reviewed at the end of the campaign.

Should Keane join Real he will link up again with former United team-mate David Beckham and his arrival would provide a massive lift for Real in the second half of the season as they battle for honours in the UEFA Champions League and La Liga.

Nothing concrete and it is Sunday afterall:rolleyes: , but it does seem credible. I'm not a fan of the 'madradistas', but he will be an awesome signing for them if he goes.

It is certainly beginning to look like he's off to Real.

Roy Keane’s representative has insisted the former Manchester United captain will not be making a decision about his future until Wednesday or Thursday.

Real Madrid have been widely tipped to win the race for the 34-year-old’s signature following his departure from Old Trafford last month after a glittering 12-year career.

However Michael Kennedy told the Manchester Evening News that reports suggesting Keane had already passed a medical at Madrid were “completely wrong”.

Bolton, Everton and West Ham have made no secret they would love to have Keane on board and keep him closer to home.

Nah, he's gonna do his penance and join his mate Mick to pull off the Great Escape at Sunderland. And then in 6 months join Cork and help them into Champions League group stages!
