Report: Player could leave Man City due to ‘losing his place’ and contract talks being ‘shelved’

Raheem Sterling was expected to put pen to paper on a contract extension at Manchester City, keeping him at the Etihad Stadium until his early 30s, but the Daily Star say the 26-year-old could be on his way out after struggling for form and playing time of late.

Sterling’s future in Manchester is uncertain due to him ‘losing his place’ under Pep Guardiola and the Daily Star added that talks over a new deal have since been ‘shelved’. Real Madrid are hoping to capitalise on the situation, but it remains to be seen if they’ll be successful luring the England international to the Santiago Bernabeu.
