Monaco boss Ranieri admits interest for Real Madrid's Di Maria

AS Monaco coach Claudio Ranieri admits he's interested in Real Madrid winger Angel di Maria.

It's understood Di Maria wants a move to France next month.

"Indeed, he is a player I am interested in," Ranieri told reporters after Monaco's 1-0 win over Ajaccio on Sunday.

"But I don't think he will join us. It is just rumours."
