Reports have circulated that Manchester City are willing to let Raheem Sterling depart this summer, and the club already have a replacement waiting in the wings.
Sterling has found that he is no longer one of the first names on the team sheet at the Etihad Stadium, with increased competition in Pep Guardiola’s side. And with the arrivals of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez already this summer, the former Liverpool prospect could be surplus to requirements at City.
Reports have circulated that Sterling is capturing the attention of top European sides now that he is potentially available, with Chelsea and Real Madrid both cited as interested parties. And according to The Times, City are not overly reluctant to let the forward depart as Guardiola intends on giving Cole Palmer more opportunities next season.
