Barcelona target Sterling 'open' to leaving Man City: I'd love to play abroad

Raheem Sterling admits he is "open" to a transfer away from Manchester City.

Sterling has spent the last six years of his career on City's books, winning three Premier League titles.

Barcelona have been linked with the England forward, who says he would "love" to move abroad.

Sterling said during an interview at the Financial Times Business of Sport US summit in New York: "If there was the option to go somewhere else for more game time I would be open to it. As I said football is the most important thing to me.

"Challenges that I have set myself from a young age and dreams as well. As an English player all I know is the Premier League and I've always thought, you know, maybe one day I'd love to play abroad. See how I would come up against that challenge."
