Guti Pens New Lifetime Contract

Guti has put pen-to-paper on a new contract that could keep him at Real Madrid for the rest of his career after club president Ramón Calderón fulfilled a promise to the player.

The 31-year-old has signed a deal that lasts until 2011 and will be automatically renewed every season after that if he appears in the 30 or more official matches for Los Merengues.

Calderón set out to tie down Madrid's three most famous homegrown products and saw Iker Casillas and Raúl sign new contracts last month, leaving Guti as the only one not to have confirmed.

A deal was never in doubt, however, as the Bernabéu supremo revealed in mid-February that everything was in place for the signing to go ahead and on Thursday it did. "Guti is going to renew for life with Real Madrid very soon, but he is laid back about it and we have not had time to sign anything. The agreement with him is closed though," Calderón said six weks ago.

Madrid see the trio of players that have signed 'vitalicio' deals to tie them to the club as icons of the team and have rewarded their performances and loyalty. Guti joined Los Merengues at the age of eight and played for the youth teams between 1984 and 1995 before stepping up to the B side, Real Madrid Castilla and a year later was given his first-team debut.

Guti To Miss Osasuna Trip

Guti will not be part of Real Madrid's squad to face Osasuna on Sunday after picking up a left-knee injury that forced him to miss training on Wednesday.

The injury will definitely rule Guti out of the game with Osasuna, but also makes him a doubt for the 'clásico' against Barcelona in midweek, although Madrid could already have the league title sewn up before they even take to the field against their great rivals.

Guti suffered a twisted left-knee and was unable to take part in any of Wednesday's training session as he spent the time inside Madrid's facilities undergoing physiotherapy work on the injury.

"He has suffered a contusion and twist of the external lateral ligament of the left-knee," the club's medical statement read.

Christoph Metzelder was the only other player missing from the session, also through injury, while Ruud van Nistelrooy continued his recovery from injury by taking part in a small-sided game with the rest of the squad in an attempt to prove his fitness to coach Bernd Schuster ahead of the weekend game.

The Dutch striker has all but shrugged off the right ankle problems that forced him to have surgery to alleviate the issue and is fully expected to be among the squad of eighteen players that Schuster picks to square off against relegation threatened Osasuna on Sunday.
