No longer having a staple status at Manchester City, Raheem Sterling would be getting closer with the passing days of a start. A golden opportunity for FC Barcelona, ​​interested in the profile of the England international.

Having launched a new cycle with the appointment of Xavi Hernandez , FC Barcelona should be very active in the transfer market this winter and next summer. Kingsley Coman is said to be the winger claimed by the former glory of FC Barcelona and new coach. However, he wouldn't be the only one. The option Raheem Sterling is also said to be explored in the corridors of Barca's management. And it may be the right time for FC Barcelona to strike for the Manchester City forward and England international.

Sterling is now or never for FC Barcelona!

And it may well be that Raheem Sterling 's adventure in Manchester City approaches its epilogue. Indeed, although his contract will not expire until June 2023, the next summer transfer window could spell the end of the Sterling era for the Skyblues. The cause ? ESPN has relied on sources to let it be known that Pep Guardiola plans for the future of the squad will be based on possession football with Jack Grealish , Bernardo Silva , Phil Foden and Riyadh Mahrez . Sterling percussion and runs in the back of the defense made Guardiola happy and allowed him to build his foundations, but this style of play would no longer be requested by Manchester City coach. A departure of Raheem Sterling would therefore be more relevant than ever in the Etihad. A golden opportunity therefore for FC Barcelona. It remains to be seen whether Barça will seize this opportunity.
