The left-back's time at Real Madrid is now coming to an end

Sporting have also been linked with Barca's Jeremy Mathieu

Sporting Lisbon president Bruno de Carvalho has announced that the club are in "conversations" over the signing of Fabio Coentrao, who is currently a Real Madrid player.

"Yes, there are conversations. Let's see what happens," Carvalho said briefly when asked about the club's interest in signing the Portuguese left-back this summer. 

However, he said he could make no comments on rumours linking Sporting with a move for Barcelona defender Jeremy Mathieu, 33, who is set to leave Camp Nou this summer. 

Sporting ended the season in third place and are the club that formed players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Figo.
