Inter Milan coach Mancini keen on Real Madrid's Cassano

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has admitted his interest in Real Madrid striker Antonio Cassano.

"I would be happy to have Cassano, I think he is a player who has great technical qualities, but is going through a difficult moment, which I am sure he will overcome," said Mancini.

"We would all have a lot to gain if he were to return to Italy. However, I am aware that it might be difficult to integrate him into a side now that the season is well underway."

"In any case, I don't think that Real Madrid will let him leave - yesterday he was on the bench. Andriy Shevchenko? I would be happy to sign him as well."
