Manchester City are reportedly ready to reward Raheem Sterling's outstanding recent form with a new contract.
According to Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail, although Sterling only agreed a contract extension until 2023 at the Etihad Stadium a year ago, the club want to get him tied down to fresh terms.
"He is now widely viewed as one of the world's best and Europe's top clubs—including Real Madrid and Barcelona—have made admiring glances recently with a view to making a move for Sterling as early as next summer," wrote Mokbel.
It was recently reported by Sky Sports that Real Madrid were ready to offer City a sum of £70 million, as well as Wales forward Gareth Bale, in exchange for the 24-year-old.
