Real losing experienced players says Roberto Carlos

ISTANBUL, June 19 (Reuters) Real Madrid are losing their experienced players and will end up with just youngsters, Brazilian Roberto Carlos said today as he joined Fenerbahce.

Real, who won the Spanish League title on Sunday, have seen a string of so-called Galacticos leave the club, culminating in the exit of David Beckham who heads for the United States.

''Ronaldo left, Figo left, (Zinedine) Zidane left, now Beckham and me,'' Roberto Carlos told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of a signing ceremony attended by thousands of fans in Istanbul.

''Real Madrid is getting rid of a lot of players with experience and is going to end up with young ones,'' he said, though he added that he respected the club's policy of favouring youth.

''The important thing now is that Beckham in the United States and I in Fenerbahce can play great games...so Real Madrid will miss us,'' he said.

The 34-year-old fullback and 2002 World Cup winner has moved to the Turkish league champions after 11 years at Real Madrid, whom he joined from Inter Milan.

''The end of my career will be here, in this club,'' he said.
