Real Madrid 'reignite interest in Raheem Sterling' with the Manchester City star losing his automatic starter role to Phil Foden and admitting last week he has had 'a weird season' due to his time on the subs bench

Raheem Sterling is back on Real Madrid's radar with the England winger no longer a regular starter at Manchester City, according to reports.

So far this month, the 26-year-old has been benched by Pep Guardiola for both of City's Champions League quarter-final legs with Borussia Dortmund along with the Premier League trip to Leicester City.

Sterling started Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea but was part of a Manchester City attack that barely threatened as Guardiola's men exited the competition via a 1-0 victory to ruin their quadruple hopes.
