Sterling arrived at Man City in summer 2015 after a multi million pound signing. Despite the fact it was criticised for being expensive, the truth is that the Englishman has shown he is worth every penny.
The English player's contract ends in June 2023. Amid the possibility of other big clubs going after the footballer, Man City want to keep hold of one of their great stars.
Therefore, he will be offered, according to the cited source, more than 500,000 euros per week. A salary which will put him as the best paid player in the Premier League, way more than his teammates.
The intention would to stop Real Madrid going after him. The thing is Sterling's performances mean he deserves a pay rise.
