From The Guardian:

"I've heard he's signed for Real Madrid, that he's already agreed to join them.

"There's talk about Roy going there too for four months, January to May, and it's quite possible." Ferguson made it clear that he would not be put out to see his former captain join David Beckham in La Liga but he will need all his skills to conceal his distress at Ballack heading for Spain.

Today's Mirror:

Roy Keane looks certain to seal a short-term deal with Real Madrid this week.

The Spanish giants believe they have seen off all rivals and will pair Keane with David Beckham, their other former Manchester United midfielder.

It's believed Keane will initially sign a six-month deal and then review his options next summer.
