Julio Baptista plans to form a spectacular attacking trio when he joins up
with fellow Brazilians Ronaldo and Robinho at Real Madrid this season.
"It's
like a dream imagining that I will be playing at the Bernabeu playing alongside
Ronie (Ronaldo) and Robinho," the 23-year-old international told sports daily AS
after making a 20 million euro ($24.20 million) move from Sevilla to Real.
"Apart from being good friends, they are fantastic footballers. They do some
incredible things in the area and my aim is to help them so that seeing Real
Madrid becomes a true spectacle."
Baptista, who scored 50 goals in all competitions in just two seasons at
Sevilla, agreed a five-year deal with Real on Friday just hours before fellow
Brazilian international Robinho was cleared to join the club from Santos.
"I'm still pinching myself," he said. "I wanted to play for Real Madrid. Ever
since I was a boy, I was fascinated by the fame that surrounded the club."
Following the signing of the two Brazilians, Real have an embarrassment of
attacking riches with Spain captain Raul and England striker Michael Owen also
on their books.
Baptista could end up costing Real 24.5 million euros if he meets the
performance-based criteria built into his deal with Sevilla.
