Inter Milan and Real Madrid are battling for Santos pair Paulo Henrique Ganso and Neymar. Inter's appointment of new coach Leonardo has lifted their chances of landing the highly sought after duo, with his reputation for working with young Brazilian's known throughout his homeland.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Inter are competing with Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid for the attacking duo, who are both already Brazil internationals.
There is even talk of a pact with Mourinho, which would see Inter sign the older Ganso, while leaving Neymar free to join Real.
Chelsea had a major offer for Neymar rejected by Santos in August, while Ganso is also admired by Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
