Posted on November 17, 2021 at 9:30 p.m. by Th.B. While FC Barcelona would pinch Raheem Sterling, Manchester City's positions differ over the England forward's future. In the sights of FC Barcelona for some time and more precisely since the last summer transfer window, Raheem Sterling could leave Manchester City where his contract will expire in June 2023 as he announced at the beginning of October. “If there was the option to go elsewhere to have more playing time, I would be open to that … As an English player all I know is the Premier League and I have always thought that maybe one day I would like to play abroad and see how I would take up this challenge ”. According to the rumors of the corridor, FC Barcelona would be likely to launch an offensive this winter via a loan, in view of the sporting situation of < strong> Sterling at City where he is not part of the starting lineup of Pep Guardiola, on a regular basis. According to information leaked on the Transfer Window Podcast set, sporting director Begiristain and executive director Ferran Soriano have a different approach than that of Pep Guardiola on the Sterling file. “Sporting director Txiki Berisgistain and general manager Ferran Soriano do not value Sterling the same as Guardiola. While Guardiola is happy to make Sterling a pending player, they see the big picture and it is that Guardiola is almost 90% certain to leave the Etihad in the summer of 2023 when the contract expires. And they see that it will be very difficult to replace Sterling, if he leaves, at a reasonable cost. Therefore, it is easier to tie Sterling to a longer term contract as he wishes ”. said reporter Ian McGarry . The stage is set and FC Barcelona knows what to expect from now on.
