Man City to open new contract talks with Raheem Sterling

Manchester City will begin talks with Raheem Sterling over an extension to his contract before the end of the season.

That’s according to the Telegraph, who report on Thursday evening that both parties are “fairly relaxed” about a deal being struck.

Sterling’s current contract doesn’t expire until June 2023 but earlier in the season it looked as though his future lay away from the Etihad Stadium, with a switch to Barcelona heavily mooted.

However, Barça ended up signing Ferran Torres from City instead, and an upturn in Sterling’s form has seen him force his way back into Pep Guardiola’s best XI.

The 27-year-old England winger will have been at City for seven years this summer, during which time he has scored 123 goals in 319 games, helping the club to eight major trophies.
