Eriksson expects Real Madrid move


England boss Sven Goran Eriksson has told his players he's set to sign for Real Madrid after the World Cup.

The Sun says the Swede, confident he will get the job next season, is already making plans.
And his close contact with England stars will raise fears he could try to convince several of them during the World Cup to follow him to Spain.
Any attempt by him to sound out players in the squad about possibly joining him at the Bernabeu will spark fury.
And he knows the leading candidate in Real's presidential elections, millionaire businessman Villa Mir, is targeting him and favourite to win control.
Mir has teamed up with ex-world rally champion Carlos Sainz, who would be vice-president.
Sainz said: "Eriksson is one of our options."
