Raheem Sterling receives instructions from Pep Guardiola
Raheem Sterling has scored 120 goals for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola - only Sergio Aguero (124) has managed more for the club since the manager's arrival in 2016

There is talk of a move for England forward Raheem Sterling.

Todd Boehly, the new owner of the Blues, is said to be a big fan of the player, who has scored 131 goals in 341 games.

It is thought that a formal bid for the player will be made soon.

He has a year left on his contract, and is looking at his options.

As a central figure in a team that challenges for major honours, and as a player who wants to play as much as possible, Sterling has never made any secret of his desire to play a lot.

  • Why Sterling faces a career-defining decision

The Blues were taken over by a group led by Boehly.

Romelu Lukaku was allowed to return to Inter Milan on a season long loan.

The only two people who have scored more goals for City than Sterling areSergio Kuna andPep Guardiola.

The City player scored 13 goals in 30 appearances in the premier league last season as he won his fourth league title and ninth major honour.

The signings of Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland made it hard for him to get his due.

The final game of the season against Villa was the only game of the season that he didn't start.

He came on to set up Ilkay Gundogan's crucial first goal as City came back from 2-0 down to win the title.
