Barcelona consider Man City attacker Sterling as Olmo alternative

Barcelona are lining up a move for Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling.

Barca have noted England striker Sterling's frustrating start to the season for City.

Catalan TV outlet Onze reports the 26-year-old could be a cheaper alternative to RB Leipzig creator Dani Olmo.

Manchester United, Barcelona, Juventus and Bayern Munich are also said to be keen on the Spain star, 23.

Leipzig value Olmo at around £60million.

And it's claimed the Germans stood firm to rebuff Barca's interest in the 23-year-old as a deadline-day replacement for Antoine Griezmann.

Olmo is still understood to be enthusiastic about rejoining the Nou Camp club he played for as a kid from 2007-14.
