Gravesen will go if unwanted
The combative midfielder has impressed since his arrival from Everton during the January transfer window, having promised to help shore up Real's previously leaky defence.
But the Danish international has not managed to hold down a regular place in the starting line-up, forcing him to threaten to quit should he feel unwanted.
"As long as the club want to invest and work with me, I will stay, " Gravesen told BT.
"But if I do get the impression the club want to give others a chance, I will obviously consider my future."
Di Vaio
Valencia striker Marco Di Vaio has played down speculation that he is set for a move away from the Mestalla.
Chances of a place in the starting line-up have been few and far between for the Italian, prompting rumours that the former Parma and Juventus player could be making a move back to his home country.
But Di Vaio is reluctant to give and is determined to stay and fight for his place.
"I am not happy - the same as anybody who doesn't play," he admitted. "But it wouldn't be easy to drag myself away from the league title holders.
"I cannot do any more and it is becoming more difficult all the time, because when all our strikers are fit, I am the one that misses out.
"Like I said, I want to fight for my place and make it clear that I don't want to leave in January.
"My personal problems are fairly minor compared to those of the club," he concluded.
Dos Santos
La Liga outfit Cadiz are reportedly close to signing Paraguayan youngster Julio Dos Santos from South American club Cerro Porteno.
The 22-year-old is highly thought of in his home country and Cadiz have apparently already drawn up a three year deal to clinch the Paraguayan international's signature.
"The negotiations are very advanced and the agreement is likely to be until June 2008," stated Cadiz president Antonio Munoz.
"We are still cautious, but we are now only waiting for an agreement on the percentage the Paraguayan club will receive if Dos Santos is sold to another club in the future."
Malaga
Malaga have moved quickly to quash rumours that the Costa del Sol club are set to be sold to a consortium of English investors.
Rumours in England suggested that a group close to Arsenal were interested in buying out the Liga club. But officials have denied the speculation, stating their commitment to the success of the club.
"We have no intention in negotiating the sale of Malaga," read a statement on the club's official website.
"We are all committed towards bringing success to this club."
