Real Madrid plot stunning move for Barcelona legend David Villa after MLS exit
REAL MADRID are plotting a sensational move for Barcelona legend David Villa.
Los Blancos are still struggling in front of goal since Cristiano Ronaldo left to join Juventus in a £99million deal and are planning drastic measures.
Villa, 36, spent a huge chunk of his glittering career at rivals Barcelona, but Real hope his eye for goals and La Liga experience will prove vital.
However, fans of the club don't seem happy at the prospect of one of their fiercest rivals from down the years joining.
In a poll conducted by a Spanish TV station, nearly two-thirds of supporters, 63 per cent, were against the move.
Villa spent arguably the best three years of his career at the Nou Camp after joining from Valencia.
In 77 La Liga games, he scored 33 times - winning the league twice as well as one Champions League crown.
The 2010 World Cup winner spent a season at Atletico Madrid and four at New York City FC since quitting Barcelona, including a stint on loan at Melbourne City.
However, Real are mulling over the possibility of bringing him back to Spain for one final hurrah.
The Galacticos need all the help they can get too, currently sitting way back in sixth with just six wins - and five losses - from their 13 games this term.
