I think Madara sees Sasuke as being easier to manipulate than Itachi is/was. Sasuke was easily swayed from being a good happy little Konoha genin to being manipulated by Orochimaru into sacrificing his body in order to gain the power to defeat Itachi. Sasuke betrayed and killed Orochimaru reasonably easily, and after he defeated Itachi, Madara was quite easily able to assume the same role Orochimaru had to "mentor" Sasuke and manipulate him to becoming one of his pawns.
Sasuke is undoubtedly powerful, and the whole spiralling revenge trip that Sasuke is on makes it really easy for someone as powerful as Madara to be able to adapt and manipulate him into working for him, I think that's where Madara's interest in Sasuke is sourced from.
