Vagner Love has heart set on Madrid

CSKA Moscow forward Vagner Love claims Everton are keen to sign him, but has set his sights on a dream move to Real Madrid.

The Brazilian star is eager to leave Russia, where he tops the goalscoring charts with 17, and is currently considering his options.

He claims the Toffees have made contact over a possible transfer but is holding out hope for a move to the Bernabeu, which he believes would improve his international prospects.

“Until now the only concrete offer I have received came from Everton in England,” he told www.globoesporte.globo.com.

“There wasn’t any contact (with Real Madrid) but it would be wonderful. Every player‘s dream is to represent Real Madrid.

“Certainly I would do the possible and impossible to be released by the CSKA president.

“Because of the work I have been doing here I think I deserve to be called up (by Brazil). But the boss, Dunga, has other options and called great players up too.

“That is also a reason to join Real. If I were scoring so many goals for a mid-European giants, I am sure I would be called.”
