The Manchester City winger revealed his desire to have a room in his house dedicated to trophies and another for the shirts he has picked up throughout his career.
But the 25-year-old wants one worn by Messi as the final piece to his collection. 'There's only one that I really want and that's a Messi shirt,” Sterling said before his latest,' Sterling said before his latest Epremier League invitation tournament against Everton's Andre Gomes.
"When we played Barcelona I got a Neymar shirt. That was the first shirt I ever asked for."
'When I finish football and settle somewhere, I will hopefully have many shirts to choose from, pick my favourites and then I will do a room of trophies and football shirts.'
With the football season currently on hold due to coronavirus, Sterling has been representing City in the ePremier League Invitational Fifa 20 tournament.
