Udinese have confirmed they are in negotiations with
Real Madrid for the transfer of Gaetano D'Agostino to the
Bernabeu.
The 27-year-old midfielder is a target of the big-spending
Primera Division giants and the deal could be completed next
week.
"I confirm that they (Real) are interested," said Udinese
president Giampaolo Pozzo. "My son was set to meet them yesterday
but he was unable to so we postponed everything until next
week.
"The buy-out clause of the player remains the same, 25million
euros, but there's always room to reason.
"There are players they have that could interest us. It's an
open negotiation."
The Italian international has been a target of Juventus this
summer but Udinese's asking price of 17million euros was not met by
the Turin giants.
D'Agostino, who is under contract with the Friuli outfit until
June 2014, would love to play at the Bernabeu stadium.
"It's the dream of any player to play at Real Madrid," said
D'Agostino to Onda Cero. "They have a spectacular team.
"That is why I'm nervous and excited.
"I thank Real for their interest, I am happy, but there's
nothing official just yet."
