Sergio Canales and his father Gelo continue to weigh up offers from big clubs across Europe and whilst Real Madrid are still favourites, Chelsea and Manchester City have made attractive offers, according to the Spanish press today. Gelo Canales has spoken to all clubs that are interested in his son and was in England over the past week to discuss a move, holding talks with Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea. A decision is believed to be close with Chelsea offering first team football to Canales on arrival at Stamford Bridge and Manchester City have made a huge offer to secure the 18-year-old attacking midfielder. Sergio Canales would prefer to stay in Spain but has consulted current team mate Xisco (on loan from Newcastle) on what living in England is like. In Chelsea and Manchester City ’s favour is that Racing Santander are likely to accept the biggest offer they receive for the hottest prospect in Spain. Canales is out of contract at the end of the season but is set to sign a new deal with a 10 million euro release clause. The 5.8ft attacking midfielder has been a revelation in the Spanish Primera Division, scoring five goals in just eight appearances.
