Roma striker Pablo Osvaldo has said that Real Madrid sporting director Zinedine Zidane is interested in taking him to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Osvaldo, who joined the Giallorossi last season after a brief spell in La Liga, insists that he found the Spanish league much easier than Serie A. However, he maintains that he had a great season for the Italian outfit.

"At a recent event, Zinedine Zidane told me he would like to see me at Madrid," Osvaldo told ESPN. "But I have not heard or received an offer.

"When it comes to just how I felt, I found it easier in Spain. But last season was a great one for me. It was a huge step to join Roma."

Osvaldo scored 11 goals in 26 appearances for the Serie A side last season.
