One of the most important soap operas on the winter market continues its course. Raheem Sterling has dropped a bomb that may end up directing his departure from Manchester City in the short term. “If there was an opportunity to go to another club, I would be open to going out right now,” said the English winger in an interview at the Bussines Of Sport US Summit.
The attacker is not happy with his situation at Manchester City because he has lost his place in Pep Guardiola’s starting team with the arrival of Jack Grealish in the last summer transfer market plus the great performance of the rest of the players who play. on the offensive flank (Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden, Ferran Torres, Gabriel Jesús, Kevin de Bruyne…). And, taking into account the aforementioned, he would be willing to leave the club in the next transfer markets to have continuity.
Barcelona follow in his footsteps
Pep Guardiola has him, but in a substitute role and with few opportunities to start. The player wants to have continuity thinking about the Qatar World Cup 2022, where he has lost his starting position in the last qualifying rounds.
Sterling ends his contract in the summer of 2023, so Manchester City is aware that they have little time to renew his contract or sell him to get a good amount of money for him, taking into account that several important clubs in Europe have set their sights on him after his big Euro.
The FC Barcelona is one of the main interested in signing him in the winter market because he needs one more attacker for his rotation due to the injuries of several important players. The Barça team would be looking for a loan, which would be positive for the player thinking of a transfer next summer.
