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

A player from Manchester City has agreed to a deal with a different team.

In his first year with City, he scored 131 goals in 339 games, after signing for a whopping £50m.

If the deal is completed, it will be the first major signing since the takeover of the club by a group led by Todd Boehly.

It's understood that the decisions will be easy, but the man wants a fresh challenge and was impressed by the vision of the manager.

The player was swayed by the public and private statements of the club that they wanted to sign him.

He has no bad feelings towards the club or the manager.

He sees this as the most important contract of his career and wants to play a key role at a club that is challenging for all the major honours.

He wants to win the Ballon D'Or.

  • Sterling's next contract will 'probably define his career'

Only John Terry and Fernandinho have won more than one title.

He is still in the running for the title.

It is believed that he appreciates the time he has been given to make a decision about his future.
