Manchester City 'to offer Raheem Sterling £300k a week'

Manchester City are reportedly preparing to reward Raheem Sterling with a new £300,000-a-week contract.

The 22-year-old has managed 13 goals in 19 appearances for City during the 2017-18 campaign, with his form key in helping the Citizens open up a healthy lead at the top of the Premier League table.

The England international still has two and a half years left to run on his current contract, but according to The Sun, City will open talks on a £300,000-a-week deal, which would see him become the highest-paid player in the Premier League.

Sterling has already scored more goals this season then he managed in the entirety of the 2016-17 campaign (10).

City will look to once again open up an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League when they welcome struggling West Ham United to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
