Transfer: City Set To Pay Sterling £450,000 Weekly To Fend Off Real's Interest

English Premier League Champion, Manchester City are willing to increase Raheem Sterling weekly wages to fend off Real Madrid interest.
According to reports, the Citizen are preparing a mammoth £450,000-a-week deal for the in-form England striker who started the 2019/20 season with an impressive performance.
Pep Guardiola and the club are keen to reward him with a lucrative extension to his current contract, which expires in the summer of 2023.
Sterling last signed a contract in November 2018 to take his wages up to around £280k-a-week, but he has already confirmed his ambition to play abroad

And City are set to react by making the 24-year-old the Premier League’s top earner to ensure his best years are played at the Etihad, according to The Sunday Express.
Should Sterling sign the £450k-a-week contract, it would far eclipse Kevin de Bruyne’s £350k-a-week deal that is currently the highest at the club.
The former Liverpool star revealed this summer that he believes he is at City “for the long haul” but has hopes of playing abroad one day.
He said in the British GQ August issue: “Looking at it now it’s like, Manchester, I love it. I love it here. This is one of the best clubs in the world and I’m here for the long haul.”
