Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez has ended up on the radar of Real Madrid.
That’s what Foot Mercato are reporting today, and their report’s headline reads ‘Real Madrid look at Riyad Mahrez’.
It’s claimed the La Liga winners have taken information about the winger and further add that contacts have already been established between the 29-year-old’s entourage and Zinedine Zidane’s side.
The Algeria international still has three more years left on his contract at Etihad, and there are a few factors to be considered for Los Blancos before trying to make an attempt for him.

It’s not clear whether or not Pep Guardiola’s side are ready to allow the ex-Leicester City winger leave the club this summer, and even if the Citizens open the door, there’s no suggestion if Real Madrid are willing to meet City’s valuation.
Foot Mercato only state contacts have been established between Real Madrid and Mahrez, and they could have obtained this information from the player’s camp.
