According to an update by reliable transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, via City Xtra, the Sky Blues are next targeting a new deal for winger Raheem Sterling - coming after Kevin De Bruyne recently committed his future to Manchester City.

The Belgian extended his stay until 2025 last week and has since repaid that faith with an outstanding second leg Champions League outing against Borussia Dortmund to help City into the semi-finals.

Now, providing an update on the Sky Blues, Romano has revealed that the club and sporting director Txiki Begiristain are planning a contract offer for Sterling next as City aim to secure their first team stars.

As well as this, City could look towards a new deal for sensational starlet Phil Foden 'within the next year'.

Flocking to this Romano update, plenty of Citizens dropped their wide array of verdicts on the news with most of them seeming excited by this development - whilst a minority had mixed reviews.

Given Sterling's brilliant 113 goals and 86 assists since joining the club, it's little wonder most City supporters are ecstatic at the thought of possibly tying him down.

Find all of their verdicts down below.
