Portugal and Benfica full-back Fábio Coentrão has affirmed his desire to join Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
The 23-year-old has an ongoing contract with Benfica, but has a minimum fee release clause inserted of €30 million, and it is not yet clear whether the Spanish giats will meet that valuation.
"This is special for me and makes me think that I am doing well as a player.
"They are two big teams with the best players but if Real Madrid show an interest they will be my first option.
"There is a mutual interest between me and Real Madrid. However, it is up to the clubs to reach an agreement over a transfer fee.
"I can only hope that my dream of playing for Real Madrid will become reality."
