Spanish giants Real Madrid are interested in signing Manchester City right-back Joao Cancelo, according to The Express.

The Spanish side are keen on replacing 31 year old Dani Carvajal and see Cancelo as the ideal replacement.

Cancelo, 28, has nor featured regularly for Manchester City in recent weeks, prompting speculation that his time at the club is set to come to an end.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has preferred 18 year old right-back Rico Lewis to Cancelo in recent weeks.

It remains to be seen whether the 28-year-old is able to work his way back into Guardiola’s plans, having previously been such an instrumental player in his side or make the move to Real Madrid next season.
