Depor seek Real Madrid swap for Andrade

Deportivo La Coruna president Augusto Cesar Lendoiro was in Madrid last night to open talks with Real Madrid over defender Jorge Andrade.

Lendoiro is seeking a deal which would include at least one Castella player moving to the Riazor in the summer. Midfielder Ruben de la Red and goalkeeper Diego Lopez are high on the Depor supremo's shortlist.

Real have already discussed personal terms with Andrade's agent, Jorge Mendes, and Lendoiro is prepared to take a loss on the £8 million he originally paid for the Portugal international.
