Real Madrid Unai Emery interested in Canary forward

With Wednesday's meeting between Jese Rodriguez's agent, Gines Carvajal, and Real Madrid's general manager, Jose Angel Sanchez, having clarified the 23-year-old's future, French champions Paris Saint-Germain now hope to tempt the forward to the French capital.

Unai Emery is looking to make his mark on a team that fell short in the Champions League last season and actually already attempted to sign Jese when he was Sevilla's coach in 2013.

It does now seem as if he will finally get his man with the Parisian club stepping up their interest with official contact on Thursday.

Real Madrid still hopes to negotiate a loan move which allows them to recall the player if necessary whilst the French club at present is favouring a permanent transfer.

Under normal circumstances the selling club would hold the power yet with the Castilla graduate having just one year left on his current contract, Los Blancos may be forced to acquiesce to the will of PSG.
