Alan Santos confirms Real Madrid offer

Santos midfielder Alan Santos has revealed that Real Madrid have made an offer for his services.

The 22-year-old, who is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Brazil, has broken into the Santos first team in recent months.

"I received the offer before the game against Barcelona, they watched me in three games in a row when I played as a starter against Portuguesa, Coritiba and Crac," Santos told Globo Esporte.

"I am very happy, I am a reserve player and Real Madrid are interested in me. It's of a course a dream, but it's in God's hands. If I have to go now, I will. If not, I can go later."

It is understood that the deal would see Santos join Madrid on loan with a view to a permanent transfer.
