The agent of Sevilla winger Diego Perotti has confirmed the interest of Real Madrid.

Real see the young Argentine as cover for Cristiano Ronaldo and are weighing up making a January bid for the midfielder.

Perotti's agent, Alvaro Torres, has confirmed the interest of Real this week, but stressed that there's been no formal contact. Indeed, Torres feels Perotti is more likely to sign a new contract with Sevilla than make the move to Madrid.
