PSG enter transfer race for Barcelona-linked winger

Barcelona are eyeing a move for Raheem Sterling, but they might face fierce competition in the race to sign him.

Raheem Sterling has attracted interest from several clubs in recent months. The Manchester City winger’s playing time has reduced significantly with the arrival of new stars to the Etihad Stadium.

Barcelona have been eyeing a move for Sterling for months as they look to bolster their attacking line. The Catalans are keen to lure the English winger to Camp Nou amid his reduced playing time. However, they might have to compete with PSG in their quest to sign the 27-year-old.

According to El Nacional, PSG are eyeing a move for Sterling in the January transfer window. The Spanish source claims the French giants are open to paying an €80 million transfer fee for the forward. Kylian Mbappe will most likely leave PSG in the near future, leaving a spot for Sterling to join as a quick replacement.

Despite his struggles earlier this season, Sterling has regained his best form in recent weeks. The England international has also reclaimed his spot as a starter in Pep Guardiola’s lineup.

However, PSG’s offer will be hard to reject for Man City. The English star’s current contract will expire next year, with no signs of a renewal being imminent. The upcoming transfer window will be Man City’s last chance to get a transfer fee for Sterling.

As for Barcelona, they will have to count on the player’s personal interest in playing for them. The Catalans are dealing with major financial issues, which leaves them with no chances when it comes to bidding wars.
