Formula E boss Alejandro Agag has admitted he would love for retiring F1 driver Felipe Massa to make the switch to the all-electric series.

Massa, a 15-year F1 veteran, said he would consider offers to race in DTM, WEC or Formula E in 2017.

Agag told Spain's El Confidencial newspaper: "When I heard he said that (about Formula E), I sent him a WhatsApp (message) and told him we should meet. I'd love him to come here. In fact, it's the teams who choose their drivers, but I would love for someone with such quality to come to us.

"(Massa) also mentioned DTM and WEC, but the fact that a driver like him says he wants to come to us means that we are a real alternative for the big boys."

Meanwhile, Agag has been linked with a role on a new F1 management team with the sport's new ownership, and not just because he is the Formula E equivalent of Bernie Ecclestone.

Formula E is co-owned by Liberty Global, a sister company to F1's new owner, Liberty Media.

Agag was asked if he plans to stay in Formula E.

"I don't know," he said. "There are many rumors, but there is nothing real and I have my moral responsibility to stay in Formula E. Let's see. I don't know what will happen because although Liberty Media and Liberty Global are different companies, they have the same shareholders. But basically there have been no discussions."
