Real Madrid agent reveals Mexes still on agenda

Real Madrid's Italian agent Enzo Bronzetti has revealed they're still interested in Roma defender Philippe Mexes.

Real Madrid's Italian agent Enzo Bronzetti has revealed they're still interested in Roma defender Philippe Mexes.

The 24-year-old Frenchman landed in Rome in 2004 after being convinced to join by then Coach Fabio Capello and sporting director Franco Baldini.

Now the duo, who both joined the Spanish giants in the summer, seem keen on having him in Madrid to strengthen their rearguard.

"Capello wants Mexes," said transfer guru Bronzetti to the Guerin Sportivo magazine. "Roma, however, consider the player untransferable and are not willing to discuss any offer."

Mexes was already paired with a move to Spain during the summer, when newly-signed Fabio Cannavaro praised his qualities and invited him to join him in La Liga.

"I am flattered that Real Madrid thought about me, but now I am at Roma, where I am totally fulfilled and ambitious," said the defender. "We want to win some titles here."
