Raheem Sterling has put his future on hold until the summer to help Manchester City ’s push for silverware.
England star Sterling, 27, has been linked with AC Milan amid reports in Italy of a potential $1.1billion (£850m) takeover by a Bahrain investment fund who have got the City forward on a wish list of big-name signings. But Sterling - whose current deal at the Etihad expires in 2023 - is very happy at the Etihad, is fully focused on helping City’s bid for silverware and his only thoughts are on trying to retain the Premier League title and win the club’s first Champions League.
Sterling has spoken in the past about potentially playing in Spain in the future but has never said the same about Italy, and there has been no contact between AC Milan and the player’s representatives. City star Sterling did speak earlier in the season about his frustrations over a lack of playing time but since then has forced his way back into the starting line-up and, when he is playing, he is very happy and content at the Etihad.
