Real Madrid are ready to pounce for Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling.

The Telegraph says Real are monitoring Sterling's situation with the aim of moving for the England international this summer.

Sterling has a deal to 2023 and is expecting to open new contract talks with City in the coming months.

And if things do not progress positively, Real will spy their chance and move for the England international.

Sterling is a favourite of Real president Florentino Perez, who has been aware of his talent since he was a junior moving from QPR to Liverpool.
