ALEJANDRO FAURLIN is ready to make a shock switch from Premier League new-boys QPR to Real Madrid.
Bernabeu chief Jose Mourinho has already inquired about the Argentine midfielder and looks set to follow up his interest with a bid for the playmaker.
QPR adviser and former Napoli coach Gianni Di Marzio confirmed: “Several clubs have asked about Faurlin. Even Real Madrid have been in touch.”
Faurlin, 24, was at the centre of a third-party ownership row which could have led to Rangers being deducted points – and the Championship title – last season.
The Loftus Road club were eventually found guilty of breaching FA regulations on two counts and fined £875,000 but were not docked any points and went up as champions last month. Faurlin snubbed offers from Spain, Italy and Greece to join Rangers for £3.5million in 2009.
One of the deals he rejected was from Inter Milan – who were managed by Mourinho at the time.
But the Special One has continued to keep an eye on Faurlin – and now wants to take him to the Bernabeu in a bid to win next season’s La Liga title.
