​Arsenal and Barcelona battling for Man City winger Sterling

Arsenal and Barcelona are two of the highest profile teams with an interest in Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling.

The England attacker is a favorite of City boss Pep Guardiola, but there was a suggestion in the summer that City may be willing to cash in on Sterling to facilitate other moves.

Such a sale did not materialise, but journalist Gerard Romero suggests that incoming Barcelona coach Xavi is a huge fan of Sterling.

He may see the winger as ideal for the left attacker position in his favorite 4-3-3 formation.

Arsenal are the Premier League side with a key interest in Sterling, per British sources, but both them or Barcelona would have to pay close to £81 million to secure Sterling, as that is his value according to transfermarkt.
