Real Madrid revive Zanetti talks

First Published: Apr 26, 2001

Real Madrid are back in talks to sign Internazionale midfielder Javier Zanetti.

FC Barcelona are also interested in the highly rated Argentine international who was close to agreeing a move to Real last month. The Spanish Liga leaders offered Michel Salgado to Inter in a swap deal before the talks stopped with Zanetti saying he wanted to stay at the Milan club.

He has been at Inter for five years and his agent is expected to take again with Real in the next few days about a summer move.
