Chelsea, Real Madrid learn Sterling plans to leave Man City

Chelsea and Real Madrid have learned Raheem Sterling is ready to quit Manchester City this summer.

The Telegraph says with a year to run on his contract and concern over his status under manager Pep Guardiola, Sterling is ready to leave City.

And news of Sterling's plans have reached clubs across Europe.

Chelsea are keen on signing him, with LaLiga trio Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid ramping up their interest too. City may prefer to avoid selling to a direct Premier League rival.

Bayern Munich is thought to be a potential destination if their move for Liverpool's Sadio Mane collapses.

Sterling's contract expires in 2023, meaning City face needing to sell him this summer to avoid losing him for nothing.
