Sources: Manchester City in early contract talks with Raheem Sterling

Manchester City are in early contract talks with Raheem Sterling with both parties relaxed about the possibility of the forward signing a new deal, sources have told ESPN FC.

Sterling, ranked the No. 1 winger in ESPN FC 100, signed a three-year contract in 2018 that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2023, and City are under no pressure to further extend his stay.

He is only 11 behind his best tally of 25 for a single season set last term as City lifted an unprecedented domestic Treble of the Premier League title, FA Cup and League Cup.
