AC Milan's Coloccini reveals Real Madrid, Atletico interest

AC Milan defender Fabricio Coloccini has revealed both Atletico and Real Madrid are chasing him.

The Argentina international is being considered by Real as an alternative to Inter Milan's Fabio Cannavaro, who remains their priority choice.

"My objective always has been to join a great club like Real Madrid, it is a great dream, brilliant, but these are decisions of the leaders and its important to respect them," said Coloccini.

"The difference of age that there is between myself and Cannavaro is not something that is going to be in my favor, because if a club like Madrid is interested in a player of 30 years there will be nothing or nobody that prevents them signing him."

On Atletico's interest, Coloccini added, "That is also a possibility - there are many clubs that have contacted me."
