Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a report that claims Raheem Sterling wants to see how he fits into Pep Guardiola’s plans before he commits to a new deal.
Sterling remains a key figure at the Etihad, despite Pep Guardiola’s continual rotation of him in and out of the side.
He has often been a prolific scorer for City, but he’s sometimes received criticism for not quite doing it as consistently for his country and club.
But the 26-year-old was England’s best performer at the recent European Championships. Sterling did not come into Euro 2020 in great form but has showed why his Manchester City and England managers pick him so often.
The England International has two years to run on his current Etihad Stadium deal and his future is currently up in the air.
According to 90min, Raheem Sterling is stalling over a new Manchester City contract with a definitive decision over his future with the club still not mad.
The report claims Sterling clearly doesn’t feel totally appreciated by Pep and wants assurances he will retain that key figure status at the club going forward.
While the report also claims that contract talks were previously further down the line, Sterling hit the brakes on proceedings as he considered his options.
The report adds that Sterling wants a contract which would further reflect his status as a star man at City, potentially as much as £380K-a-week, which is thought to be what the club pay teammate Kevin De Bruyne.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra, many Man City fans have been sharing their thoughts and opinions.

People like to claim he’s not clinical but try to find a player who has his ability in all other aspects…his ability to get into good position…goals and assists even with his supposed poor finishing… he’ll still get double digits in G/A….I’ll wait

Pep obviously trusts him enough. I mean he played the CL final when he wasn’t exactly in best form. Really hope he stays
