Santos midfielder Paulo Henrique Ganso is keen to move to Real Madrid. Ganso is also wanted by Manchester United and Chelsea, while Manchester City have first refusal on the youngster until the end of July.

However, agent Sabatino Durante says work permit problems virtually rule out a summer move to England.

"The first option, concerning both the player and his team is Real Madrid," he told Streamit Soccer. "This is not is new, because the rules to go to England say it is only possible with a special request to the FA, so it is quite complicated.

"The team that has been first on the player is Real, which has been already a year following him."
