‘Imagine selling our 2nd best’ – Man City Fans react as Real Madrid make contact with player’s entourage

Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports of Real Madrid’s interest in Algeria international Riyad Mahrez.

According to French outlet Foot Mercato, Real Madrid are keen on signing the Algerian this summer contacts have already been established between the 29-year-old’s entourage and Zinedine Zidane’s side.

The report states states that little is known as to whether City would be open to parting with a player who is contracted with the club until 2023.

Real Madrid see Mahrez as a potential replacement for Gareth Bale and will only move for the midfielder if the Welsh winger can be moved on this summer.

In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra and City chief, Manchester City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.

Imagine selling our 2nd best player. Mahrez is going nowhere..

We can’t sell him. Why would a club want to sell their best players? Not happening. Those wanting to sell Mahrez are either Clueless or United fans.

Second best player, better than Walker, Sterling, Ederson?

He’s very inconsistent though. I dont think he fits in the Pep system very well. He was POTY playing on the counter attack. Not a possession based team. Its very different having to break down a low block then running at pace against 1 defender in a lot of space.

Offload Mahrez and bring in Lautaro! I don’t mind Mahrez but we need younger, more energetic players. If RM are willing drop £30m on him, I’d take it and pursue someone like Lautaro or Dybala.
