‘There’s absolutely no chance’, ‘stick to Neymar’ – Man City fans react to the club’s ‘No 1 target to replace Raheem Sterling’

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club have identified Arsenal star Bukayo Saka as their number one target to replace Raheem Sterling.

The 20-year-old was the Gunners’ standout performer once again in the 2021-22 season and won the club’s Player of the Year award for his exploits on the right-hand side.

Saka amassed 11 goals and seven assists from 38 Premier League outings for Mikel Arteta’s side, taking his total for the club to 23 strikes and 29 assists in 131 games in all tournaments.

The England international only has another two years left to run on his existing Emirates deal, though, and he has been linked with moves to Man City and Liverpool.

According to the Daily Mail, Man City have identified Saka as their No 1 target to succeed Sterling, who left for Chelsea in a £45million deal.

The 20-year-old also qualifies as a homegrown player and has flourished into one of Europe’s brightest young talents in recent seasons.

The report states City’s interest is a complication in Arsenal’s desire to extend Saka’s contract in north London, which expires in 2024.

The report was shared on Twitter and it attracted plenty of attention from Manchester City supporters.
