Manchester City could've lost Pep Guardiola before his appointment in the second-half of last season.
It's been revealed Real Madrid made contact with former Barcelona coach Guardiola before sacking Rafa Benitez.
Pundit Marti Perarnau, speaking on Cadena Ser, claimed Real approached Guardiola before Benitez was axed.
"Madrid called Guardiola to feel him out last November, before sacking Benitez," said Perarnau.
In the end, Real went with Zinedine Zidane, promoting him from the Castilla team.
