Real Madrid move for Inter Milan target Luisao

Real Madrid are aiming to make a late bid to trump Inter Milan for Benfica stopper Luisao.

Contrary to Italian press reports, Luisao has not signed a pre-contract with Inter, though the Serie A giants remain favourites to land the Brazil international.

Luisao's agent, Giuliano Bertolucci, told Marca: "Any player in the world would be interested in playing for a club like Real Madrid."

"Officially, nobody from Real Madrid has spoken with us. Luisao still has three years left on his contract at Benfica and he is very happy in Lisbon."
