Barcelona reportedly still hold an interest in signing Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling this summer.

After a spell out of the starting lineup at the back end of last season, the 27-year-old has since been a first-team regular for the Citizens this term, scoring 14 goals and providing five assists in 35 appearances across all competitions.

Sterling's long-term future at the Etihad Stadium is believed to be uncertain as he has less than 18 months remaining on his contract.

Barcelona were strongly linked with the England international last summer, and 90min reports that the Catalan giants remain interested in his services ahead of a potential swoop at the end of the current campaign.

Pep Guardiola has previously indicated how important Sterling is to Man City, but with the forward "open" to a move abroad, he may be persuaded by a switch to Camp Nou.

Barca head coach Xavi is believed to be a 'huge admirer' of Sterling, who has won 11 trophies during his seven years with the Citizens, including three Premier League titles.
