lackburn manager Sam Allardyce has admitted his interest in Real Madrid icon Guti - but concedes a deal for the Spanish playmaker is unlikely.[LNB] Guti is available on a free transfer with the classy midfielder leaving Real Madrid after 15 years at the Spanish giants.[LNB]Rovers defender Michel Salgado is trying to convince Guti to make the move to Ewood Park with Allardyce a big fan of the 33-year-old.[LNB]However, Allardyce admits Guti is not at the top of his priority list with a new striker his main target.[LNB]"Guti would be a player we would like to sign there is no doubt about that," Allardyce told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.[LNB]"It has been fronted by Michel Salgado and it has been outstanding that a player like that would like to come to Blackburn. [LNB]"But a player in his position is not the priority at the moment. [LNB]"One of the stumbling blocks for me is the priority is a frontman and I am not so sure Mr Guti could wait for us to find a front man and see where we go from there. [LNB]"But that is the key thing for us to sign a front man and then look elsewhere after that."
