Ever since swapping Merseyside for Manchester in the summer of 2015, Raheem Sterling has been a reliable goalscorer for Manchester City and has played a major role in the club’s recent success.
Under Pep Guardiola, the 27-year-old has transformed into one of the most dynamic and exciting wingers in the world. For his efforts, Raheem Sterling was awarded the Football Writers’ Player of the Year in 2019, and has picked up four Premier League winners medals along the way.
However, the player and club are in a tricky situation, with only one year left on his current contract. It is on record that Raheem Sterling wants assurances of more game time before committing to a new deal – something that has not come to fruition so far.
Reports on Tuesday have been dominated by the England international’s situation and what could possibly be the next steps in his already stellar career.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano – alongside Guardian colleague Jamie Jackson – have also reported Chelsea and Real Madrid’s interest in Raheem Sterling.
The player is said to be currently representing himself and is keen to sort his future out with Manchester City this summer. If he were to decide to move on, Carlo Ancelotti is said to be interested in signing Sterling.
His ability to operate as a winger, false nine, or second striker is hugely desirable and Thomas Tuchel – who is also claimed to be interested – is aiming to address the lack of goals from his Chelsea forward line this season.
