I want to to
I was reading the fairy tale 'Aladdin and the magic lamp' and found the form "I want to [pronoun] to [verb]".
So I started to wonder if it's correct because I had never seen it before.
If so, what's the difference between "I want to [pronoun] to [verb]" and "I want [pronoun] to [verb]"?
Here is the full paragraph:
"As soon as he got hold of the lamp, Mustafa immediately rubbed it and the genie came out of it, with the same words “Master, I will grant you three wishes! Be careful of your choice!” “Stop talking,” Mustafa yelled, “I want to you to take me, Yasmin and her palace as far away from here as you can. So far that Aladdin wouldn’t find us even if he rode for three days and three nights"

It's a mistake. It should have been "I want for you to take me ..."
