Pablo Osvaldo: 'Zinedine Zidane wants me at Real Madrid'

Roma striker Pablo Osvaldo has said that Real Madrid sporting director Zinedine Zidane is interested in taking him to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Osvaldo, who joined the Giallorossi last season after a brief spell in La Liga, insists that he found the Spanish league much easier than Serie A. However, he maintains that he had a great season for the Italian outfit.

"At a recent event, Zinedine Zidane told me he would like to see me at Madrid," Osvaldo told ESPN. "But I have not heard or received an offer.

"When it comes to just how I felt, I found it easier in Spain. But last season was a great one for me. It was a huge step to join Roma."

Osvaldo scored 11 goals in 26 appearances for the Serie A side last season.
