Given the current economic crisis around the world I imagine his dreams of playing for Madrid or Barca might remain as just those. I can't imagine either of those clubs would pay him £350k per week plus a fat signing on fee even if he ran his contract down. Needs to get in the real world and stay where he is for the time being.

His new reps are not happy with the story and dispute the claims.
There is no change.
i wonder then if sterling wants to move to spain he would be tempted by A Madrid instead of Real or Barca? Then maybe try and do a deal including Felix?

Agreed, which he can do by running down his deal for another 18 months and leaving for free.
He might as well hedge his bets on £300k a week and see how the land lays.
Not good for City, but I would rather he did that and we avoided being wedded to another five years on even greater wages.
It will have been eight years service by then and more than recouped the transfer fee.

We don't want Felix and Sterling doesn't want Atletico. The only realistic financial prospect of a move anywhere this summer, certainly that I can see, would be PSG replacing Mbappe.

How disappointing.
Sterling has a World Cup year coming up, unless one of three clubs in Madrid, Barca or Paris come calling, he won't be leaving this summer.
He has no need to sign a new deal with City, he holds all the cards.
He can continue to be paid £300k a week for another 18 months and challenge for all the top trophies.
Potentially remaining in England with another club then also opens up for him if he runs his deal down.
Raheem signs a new deal at City before June, he's decided there's worse places to be.

Any idea how Pep is viewing it? Is retaining Sterling one of his priorities or is he pragmatic about it?Sterling has a World Cup year coming up, unless one of three clubs in Madrid, Barca or Paris come calling, he won't be leaving this summer.

I'm sure the Parisian fans would be impressed by that.We don't want Felix and Sterling doesn't want Atletico. The only realistic financial prospect of a move anywhere this summer, certainly that I can see, would be PSG replacing Mbappe.

I don't think anyone is kidding themselves, put it this way. When teams are winning it becomes less of a problem.
Pep can't really say anything as he is essentially in the same contractual countdown.
The only difference is Raheem has a monetary value to the Club.
Pep will pick him if he performs, simple as.
If Raheem doesn't perform, he is in no position to moan about a lack of starts and then he will have perhaps a decision to make.
