Sterling lays down conditions to renew

Raheem Sterling's future at Man City could be more uncertain than usual. The English winger has been at the club since 2015-16 and he has always played a key role. 

However, that seems to have taken a dramatic twist this season. Of the 10 matches he has played up to now, he has only started four. The irruption of Jack Grealish or Phil Foden's increasing role, have made him become less important. 

Nevertheless, Man City are looking to renew his contract which expires in 2023. As well as the fact he plays less, you cannot also forget that he is 26 years old and he has more than proven his quality in the past. 

According to 'The Sun', in order for negotiations to reach a positive outcome, the former Liverpool man wants to know how important he will be in the squad. In other words, either he is assured he will be a key player at the Sky Blues or this renewal will almost certainly not happen. In the meantime, clubs like Barcelona have already come knocking at his door.
