As reported by the Sport newspaper on its cover tomorrow, the FC Barcelona will attempt the signing of Raheem Sterling on loan in the winter transfer market, in a move that comes hand in hand with all the injuries that the club has suffered at an offensive level in the face of this new campaign.
The Blaugrana team tried to sign the English winger last summer market, taking advantage of his good relationship with Manchester City and that the English team did not have him due to the arrival of Jack Grealish. His name rang out with great force in the exchanges that tried to close both clubs in the last transfer window.
A new option for attack
On the other hand, Sterling sees FC Barcelona as an ideal destination to have quality minutes for the Qatar World Cup 2022, taking into account that he is a substitute at Manchester City due to the arrival of Jack Grealish and the irruption of Phil Foden. He does not want to lose his important position in the England team to Gareth Southgate and for that he needs to have minutes. His position as incumbent seems to have lost it.
Barcelona would offer Manchester City a loan with an option to buy for next summer with the intention of not making such a high investment because they do not have enough money to undertake their signing.
The Blaugrana team will not have Martin Braithwaite and Ousmane Dembélé for a long time this season, so they want to incorporate one more attacker to have a more complete rotation. Ansu Fati returned to training, but there are doubts about his current condition. They urgently need an attacker to try to improve their performance.
