Sterling

By Joshua Walters

Raheem Sterling has agreed to extend his contract at Manchester City in a deal that would make him the highest paid English player, according to 101 Great Goals.

Sterling’s contract expires in the summer of 2020, and the forward has verbally agreed to extend the deal before it runs out.

Reports from Sky Sports and Daily Mail state that the English international would sign a new five-year deal with the defending Premier League Champions which will earn him £300,000-a-week.

Sterling joined the Etihad outfit in 2015 from Liverpool with a fee of £49million and has played 104 domestic league matches, scoring 35 goals.

Sterling has been very influential at City, making him one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market with Real Madrid said to be very interested in the player.

Sterling was part of the England team that reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.
