Christian Vieri has a number of options open to him now that he is a free agent and there are reports he offered himself to Real Madrid.
According to Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’, his agent Sergio Berti called Real transfer chief Arrigo Sacchi this week to propose a move.
The striker, who turns 32 years of age on July 12, was released from his contract with Inter a year early so that he could find first team football that would enable him to prepare for the World Cup.
Newcastle United boss Graeme Souness confirmed that he had attempted to sign the player, but that he had his heart set on Spain.
If Real rejected the opportunity, then other La Liga clubs are still interested in bring Vieri back to the Division where he scored 24 goals in as many appearances for Atletico Madrid in 1997-98.
Sevilla believe that the Italian international is the right man to lead their attack for next season, while there are still Premiership options in the form of Tottenham and Bolton.
There are also reports that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has offered him an impressive package to sign for CSKA Moscow.
However, Italian clubs remain very clear favourites to relaunch his career, as Fiorentina, Juventus and even rivals Milan are interested in handing him a contract.
