Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling is reportedly open to joining Barcelona on loan in January.

Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling is reportedly open to making the move to Barcelona on loan during the January transfer window.

The 26-year-old's future remains the subject of much speculation, with new Barcelona boss Xavi allegedly keen to sign him at the start of 2022.

Sterling has made 15 appearances for Man City this season, contributing two goals and two assists, but he has struggled to hold down a starting role and was an unused substitute in the Manchester derby last weekend.

According to The Times, the England international is committed to regaining his spot in the first XI at the Etihad Stadium and is still keen to discuss a new contract with the Citizens.

However, the report claims that Sterling will seek an exit if his situation has not changed by January, and the attacker is open to making the move to Camp Nou.

The former Queens Park Rangers youngster, who has little over 18 months left to run on his contract with Man City, has scored 116 goals and registered 89 assists in 307 appearances for Pep Guardiola's side.
