My take is he wants/wanted Madrid, and isn't gonna get that. Once that is 100% certain in his mind he will sign a new deal with us (perhaps with a Madrid/Barca clause), and be totally commited. I wouldn't hold any of that against him.
I think Poch's influence on his thinking will be easily sufficient that he wouldn't consider signing for any of our rivals. That would be Poch's view of himself in Spain, he's an Espanyol (was that his team? anyway whichever team he was with) man, and will never manage Barca as a result, as they are local rivals, and he respects it all too much to do that.
I think CE would happily go to Madrid as their 3rd choice target for the summer though, so he will probably wait until its 100% final that he won't have that chance. Again, for me, I wouldn't hold that against him. He's allowed to decide these things for himself.
