Bayern Munich keenly following situation of Raheem Sterling
The upcoming summer transfer window is set to witness numerous players switching clubs on free transfers. Bayern Munich capitalised on one such situation and snapped up Noussair Mazraoui from Ajax. Meanwhile, several top players are entering the final year of their current contracts.
Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling is one of the numerous star players in Europe that are entering the final year of their current deal. The English winger is set for talks with Manchester City to resolve his future later in June, but several top clubs are keenly following his situation.
According to Daily Mail in the UK, Bayern Munich is also following the contract situation of Raheem Sterling. The Bavarian club will be facing competition from Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Barcelona if they pursue the signature of the English forward.
Sterling has been one of the most productive wide players in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola in the last five seasons. The English winger can play on either flank and also operate as a false nine. Sterling is a very clever forward that can help stretch the opposition, and he also has the knack for scoring goals from wide positions.
The English winger’s best years are ahead of him as he turns 28 next season. He has played a big role in Manchester City’s four title wins in the last five years. The English champions will do everything possible to secure his future.
Bayern should definitely test Man City’s resolve with a bid this summer if the English club’s talks with Sterling later this month are not positive. He can be a top-quality forward for Die Roten and help them to remain competitive across Europe. It can be a statement signing for Rekordmeister, which will also fit well with their financial framework.
The Bavarian club will have significant competition if they decide until 2023 to sign Sterling on a free transfer. He will be a very sound replacement for Serge Gnabry if he leaves in the current transfer window. The German winger has also entered the final year of his deal in Bavaria, with an agreement for a new contract looking unlikely at the moment.

The interest in Sterling from Die Roten is likely to be in the preliminary stage. However, things could move quickly, if Sterling rejects the contract offer from Manchester City. The Bavarian club could also propose a swap deal involving Gnabry. There are good solutions available for Die Roten, provided Sterling decides to leave Manchester and agrees to move to Bavaria.
