Rumour Has It: Barcelona determined to lure Sterling, Man City to launch fresh Kane bid

Raheem Sterling’s future at Manchester City remains unclear.

The England winger has only made three Premier League starts this season.

Sterling, who starred during England’s run to the Euro 2020 final, could now be on the move.

Barcelona are determined to sign Raheem Sterling from Manchester City despite the Premier League club’s refusal to let him leave, reports Manchester Evening News.

The Catalans want to bring Sterling to Camp Nou in January on a loan deal, with the forward open to a move after losing his regular starting spot at City.

Sterling still has 18 months remaining on his City contract and the English champions have no intention of accepting an offer for him.
