The Spanish giants believe the winger’s decline in playing time might make him available
Real Madrid are interested in signing Manchester City star Raheem Sterling, according to the Daily Star, as the emergence of Phil Foden for Pep Guardiola has seemingly made Sterling less vital than before.
Sterling is reportedly still happy at his current home, with the Citizens destined for a Premier League crown and still in contention for the Champions League. He still plays a fair amount, contributing to 15 league goals this year, and he’s played in England his entire career.
That said, Real Madrid apparently see Sterling as the ideal star in his prime to bridge the gap between aging attackers and youngsters not quite ready to carry the club on their own. Their determined pursuit could prove flattering and eventually intriguing.
