Real Madrid to play Albania friendly

MADRID, Jan 6, 2010 (AFP) - Real Madrid will collect 2.5 million euros to face Albanian champions Gramozi Erseke, owned by oil magnate Rezart Taci, in a friendly match on January 20, Spanish media reported on Wednesday.

"The contract has been signed and everything is ready for the match on the 20th," said Milton Nushi, a spokesman for Taci's firm Taci Oil International, the online edition of Spanish sports daily Marca reported.

"There will be no absences, the entire team is coming, including its president, Florentino Perez," he added, according to the newspaper.

Gramozi Erseke's line-up against the Spanish giants for the the "Taci Oil Cup" at Tirana's Qemal Stafa stadium will include some stars from rival teams.

Last year Taci brought AC Milan for a friendly match against KF Tirana for the single game tournament. The Italian side won on penalties 5-4 after the match ended in a 3-3 draw.

Taci, 38, made headlines in the international media in 2009 when he offered to buy Italy's Seria A soccer club Bologna, but backed out at the last moment.
