Baptista Wants Madrid Stay

fount : goal.com



The Brazil international has been strongly linked with football away from Santiago Bernabéu, with AS Roma and Newcastle emerging as his most likely destinations.

He has been given few chances to shine with the Merengues since his arrival in 2005 and is on the transfer list of coach Bernd Schuster.

However, the powerful midfielder has now indicated that he wants to stay at the Spanish capital club and claim a more influential role in the squad.

"My plan is to play at Real Madrid more than last season and show my qualities. I will fight and we will see what happens," said Baptista, who scored a goal on Sunday's friendly over LASK Linz.

"It is complicated to show my real level during the season without playing consecutive games, but I have clear goals for this season."
