De la Red challenges Real Madrid over Getafe move.

Real Madrid youngster Ruben de la Red is in the middle of a battle of wills with the club's sports director Pedja Mijatovic.

Mijatovic has agreed a deal with Getafe for the young playmaker, but De la Red would prefer a move to Victor Fernandez's Real Zaragoza, says Marca.

Real Madrid do not want to sell De la Red and is happy with the six-month loan proposal tabled by Getafe. Zaragoza have also made an offer - for the permanent signing of De la Red, which is the player's favoured option.

A decision is expected inside the next 48 hours.
