Real Madrid are eyeing Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling.

The Times says Sterling is edging ever closer to penning a record-breaking deal with sportswear giants Adidas.

The bumper contract would be worth over £10million with various incentives introduced - and the partnership may also help realise Sterling's rumoured future ambition of playing for Real Madrid.

The company are keen on Sterling moving to the Spanish capital this summer.

The reported terms they have offered to the England international would make up the largest kit deal tabled for a British player.

Sterling's current deal with Nike is set to expire on July 31, and he is said to be aware of how Adidas helped Beckham secure his transfer to the Bernabeu in 2003.
