Werder Bremen won't block Diego's Real Madrid move

Real Madrid's push for Werder Bremen midfield ace Diego won't be thwarted by the signing of a new contract.

The Brazil international inked a new deal through to 2011 last week, but close friends have told AS that Werder are prepared to listen to offers from Real for the midfielder.

Real coach Bernd Schuster wants to bring Diego to Madrid and the player has already informed Werder chiefs he will seek a move should the Spanish giants formalise their interest. Werder have assured Diego they won't stand in his way should the right offer arrive.
