Raheem Sterling news

Man City want to keep Sterling until next summer

Manchester City are reluctant to lose Raheem Sterling midway through the current season.

The England international has made just three Premier League starts this term, and he recently acknowledged that he may leave the club.

Barcelona are interested in a January loan deal with an option to buy. Arsenal have also been linked with a winter approach for his services.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has a good relationship with Sterling from his time as City's assistant manager. The Spaniard is keen on a reunion.

Sterling will enter the final 18 months of his contract in January, but it is reported that the Cityzens may keep him for the campaign.

Pep Guardiola still considers the England international as a key part of his plans, and the club are hopeful of convincing him to extend his stay.

Sterling has been a regular on the bench for the Cityzens' but he started the 2-0 win over Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
