Real Madrid join battle for Sporting CP attacker Joao Mario

Real Madrid are eyeing Sporting CP attacker Joao Mario.

A Bola says Real Madrid have turned their attention to the 23-year-old but will have to compete with the likes of Unai Emery's PSG if they are to land Mario.

Sporting have already rejected offers this summer for one of their star players. Inter Milan opened the bidding with a 35-million-euro offer and Liverpool then added five million more to their own attempt but both were rebuffed.

Mário made 45 appearances for Sporting last season, scoring seven times and laying on 12 assists.
