Manchester City have been dealt a major blow in their chase for Edinson Cavani after Real Madrid stepped up their attempts to land the Napoli forward.
The Uruguay striker is Roberto Mancini's No 1 target with the Italian desperate for more firepower since losing Mario Balotelli to AC Milan.
Mancini is set for a busy summer in the transfer market but Real have now emerged as serious contenders to land Cavani at the end of the season.
The news provides a major obstacle in City's attempts to sign Cavani, who has a £52million release clause written into his contract.
Sportsmail revealed on February 13 how City had begun negotiations with Cavani's representatives in a bid to strike an early deal.
