Papers: Barcelona to try and sign Raheem Sterling in January

Manchester City and England winger Raheem Sterling is all over the front page of Diario Sport on Saturday with a report that he’s wanted at Barcelona in January.

The report claims that Sterling was wanted last summer too and Mateu Alemany even travelled to Manchester to try and close a deal with the Premier League side.

A loan or a swap deal involving Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele or Sergi Roberto was proposed but the two clubs couldn’t find an agreement.

That does not appear to have put Barcelona off with the report suggesting the Catalans will try again in January and are encouraged as Sterling seems to be losing prominence at City.
