Real Madrid linked with Joe Hart move

Real Madrid have been linked with a shock move for Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe Hart in the summer. Carlo Ancelotti's side are considering Hart as a long term replacement for Iker Casillas.

Under Ancelotti, at times Casillas has slipped down the pecking order at the Bernabeu Stadium and Real have been linked with a host of eventual successors for the Spain number 1 shot stopper. Ancelotti could make a surprise bid for Hart as the long term replacement for the long serving keeper.

Real Madrid have apparently budgeted a massive 100 million Euros to spend on new players this summer and the signing of a new long term replacement for Casillas appears to be at the top of the Spanish side's priorities.

Man City manager Manuel Pellegrini is likely to reject any bids for the England number 1.
