Chinese international Sun Jihai, who plays with English premier league club Manchester City, said on Monday that he hopes to play a friendly with Real Madrid in Beijing.

The nine-time European champions will play the match on Aug. 2 against a squad made up of players from four Chinese first division clubs.

"Of course I am interested in the match with Real Madrid," the China defender said. "It will be a great help for your playing career, to play with so many world-class players. You can learn a lot even from a very small touch of the super stars."

It was reported that the organizers had already invited Sun to play the game but he will have to get nod from City manager Kevin Keegan.

"The club have not decided whether I can go or not. Since it isnot a game for the national squad, the club do not need to let me go," Sun told the Chinese language newspaper Sports Weekly.
