Thank fuck he's well in the know at City to be able to pass on this nugget (from MEN)
Sterling to demand salary hike?
With Raheem Sterling’s contract due to expire the summer after next, Man City are thought to be keen on tying the 23-year-old down to a new deal in the near future.
But journalist Duncan Castles believes that might prove difficult.
Here’s what he’s had to say on the matter:
Raheem Sterling and his representative Ady Ward are seeking to get the maximum salary possible out of Manchester City.
Their argument is that he’s the most important homegrown player in the squad.
Sterling has history when it comes to forcing a move if he feels like he isn’t being paid appropriately.
Having talked to people who have spoken to Sterling about his long term goals in football, there is no sense with Sterling that he sees Man City as being his long term career choice.
