Raheem Sterling can be one of the great novelties of the summer transfer market. He would be willing to force his departure from Manchester City as a result of the great reinforcements that the team trained by Pep Guardiola has obtained
The window of transfers of summer presents like one in which they will have big movements and surprises. The FC Barcelona, waiting for that it improve his economic situation, has the intention to revolutionise his staff and achieve reinforcements of quality that 'help' to the team to go back to compete by all the titles, after a year in white. Achieve signings for the attack is one of the big priorities.
One of the names of this market will be Raheem Sterling, the one who could abandon the Manchester City this summer after the signings of Julián Álvarez and, especially, Erling Haaland. The English, the one who wants to arrive in the best possible level to the World-wide of Qatar, knows that in the rows of the picture 'citizen' will leave to add so many minutes as it accustoms and would prioritise to find a road of the Etihad Stadium, according to the information of 'The Telegraph'.
Sterling, with agreement until 2023, has been one of the most used players by Pep Guardiola in the last years, but with the presence of the new players (and with Jack Grealish, fichado the past summer) his situation will change abruptly. It is a player very very valued in the market (as 'Transfermarkt' costs 85 million euros) and that it can lead the attack of any team of Europe. The FC Barcelona has had it from does some time in his diary, but to day of today is an option complicated.
'Daily Mail' had informed during the past week that four teams had increased his interest in the international with England, the Barça between them, in addition to the Athletic, Real Madrid and Bayern of Munich. Nevertheless, 'The Telegraph' aimed that Chelsea would be the team that more near would be to achieve an agreement with Sterling of face to the next season. The confidence would have installed in the Stamford Bridge and think that can achieve negotiate with the City.
The Barça has it quite complicated
From Barcelona, by the contrary, the pessimism is absolute regarding a possible incorporation of Sterling. In winter, when the blaugrana asked after he, the City asked around 80 million euros. They aimed, besides, that would not accept any barter and that only were attentive to the 'cash'. The culés finished buying to Ferran Torres by 55 'kilos' to reinforce the forward. Six months afterwards, the situation in Can Barça is the same, economically speaking, by what would be a quite complicated operation.
Likewise, there are other names before him (Lewandowski, the first) and because, to day of today, the club is not in conditions to complete traspasos. The culés are expecting to achieve sell his active/heritage (BLM, Barça Studios or the television rights) to save the exercise of losses and think in traspasos punctual, with the reality against of face to a revolution like which want to Xavi in his staff.
