Responding to a tweet by sports journalist Nicolo Schira, many Manchester City supporters have disagreed with the notion that star winger Raheem Sterling’s contract could be extended – with Schira’s update stating that the club could offer him a new deal until 2024.
Sterling, who has failed to score a Premier League goal since bagging a brace in the 3-2 defeat at Wolves back in December, could be on the verge of a new deal regardless – with Schira’s tweet also claiming that the Englishman’s wages could rise to £18.6 million per year.
The 25-year-old, in the midst of a current dry spell, has still managed to accumulate 20 goals and seven assists in 39 appearances for the club this season (Transfermarkt) – including a hat-trick in the Champions League against Atalanta. However, despite his past heroics, many City fans have bashed the reported news that he could be offered a contract extension – with one fan even claiming that it is ‘time to sell him‘ whilst another laments the wage offer as ‘laughable‘.
Here’s what they had to say on Twitter…
That’s laughable money
