Real Madrid to consider potential €140million Manchester City transfer raid following significant development

Real Madrid are reportedly considering a future transfer swoop for Manchester City star Raheem Sterling as his future is thrown into some doubt.

The Spanish giants are said to be weighing up a bid in the coming months to sign the €140million-rated Sterling, according to Don Balon.

The England international could be an immense signing for Real, with his scoring record for City showing he could be a similar style of player for Los Blancos that Cristiano Ronaldo was.

According to the Sun, the 24-year-old is waiting to find out about Pep Guardiola’s future before putting pen to paper on a new deal.
