Although Quaresma's agent reached an agreement with Real's city rivals Atletico, it seems the 24-year-old will try to seal a switch to Los Merengues.

"I want to play at Real Madrid," Quaresma was quoted as saying by Spanish daily Marca.

Atletico were close to signing Quaresma in the close season but failed to meet Porto's asking price to release the talented Portuguese.

Los Rojiblanco president Enrique Cerezo recently stated that his side had not lost hope of luring Quaresma to Vicente Calderon but now his wish has almost dashed.
