Pep Guardiola and Man City sent stark warning over selling Raheem Sterling to Chelsea

Pep Guardiola selling Raheem Sterling to Chelsea might come back to haunt Manchester City next season.

That is the verdict from Premier League footballer turned Sky Sports pundit, Paul Merson, as the England forward edges closer to a blockbuster move. City and Chelsea have settled on an initial £45million fee for Sterling and that might eventually rise to £55m with add-ons.
