Posted on November 9, 2021 at 5.30 p.m. by Th.B. While FC Barcelona would consider Raheem Sterling as part of a transfer for the winter transfer window, the England international would refuse to meet with Manchester City leaders to extend his current contract until June 2023. For his part , Skyblues coach Pep Guardiola delivered a meaningful message on this issue. FC Barcelona have an entire team of injured people. Indeed, with the announcement of the unavailability of Ansu Fati , the number 10 of Barça joined the well-stocked infirmary of the club culé in which is currently Neto , Sergiño Dest , Gerard Pique , Eric Garcia , Sergi Roberto , Pedri , Nico , Ousmane Dembélé , Martin Braithwaite and Sergio Agüero . It is clear that Barça's offensive sector is considerably reduced by the multiple injuries in question. And in order to fill this void, FC Barcelona should take advantage of the winter transfer window to inject new blood. Several tracks seem to be taken into consideration including the one leading to Raheem Sterling. In fact, the England international recently opened the door to taking on a challenge abroad, playing at Manchester City and who has never played in a foreign league. “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 ”. Under contract until June 2023, could Raheem Sterling get closer to a departure and indirectly from FC Barcelona? At least that is the point to be learned from the information leaked by Goal. According to the British media, one should not especially expect a contract extension of Raheem Sterling . Indeed, while he is no longer guaranteed to be a regular holder as was the case in the past, Bernardo Silva , Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden overshadowing him in Manchester City , Sterling has so far refused to enter into discussions with the leaders of the Mancunian club in the context of a contract extension. This suggests that a departure would be a possibility for the City forward. And FC Barcelona would have every chance this winter according to Pep Guardiola because of the club's aura culé, financial difficulties or not. “Discussions in January for Sterling with Barcelona?” We don't have a striker, so… I have no idea, not that I know of… And obviously I wouldn't tell you either ”. at first entrusted the coach of Manchester City visiting Barcelona on Monday as part of the presentation of Xavi Hernandez as Barça's new coach. Subsequently, Pep Guardiola made it clear that nothing could stop FC Barcelona if the blaugrana club really wanted to recruit Raheem Sterling . “We, the coaches, have enough to do so that those who don't play don't get too upset, to see if we win one game and see if we win the next. We have too much work to do, but if Barcelona are interested in one of our players, I am convinced that ….. Barcelona are still an attractive club, more than attractive. The city, the club, the history and all of that is always very attractive to coaches and players. If Barcelona are interested in one of our players, they'll get the ball rolling, it's a transatlantic liner. Barcelona, for better or for worse, can do what they want ”. If Xavi Hernandez did indeed cultivate the desire to engage the services of Raheem Sterling this winter or the next summer, he could therefore have a real chance of achieving his ends. 
Sterling does not want to extend to City…
… and Guardiola ensures that Barça is attractive!
