Raheem Sterling's representatives in LA to discuss series on City star

Raheem Sterling is just 24, but it seems like the Manchester City forward has been around for the longest time. Sterling has enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks when he rose to prominence during his time with Liverpool. The former Golden Boy award winner then moved to Manchester City in 2015 for an initial fee of £44 million - a fee which made him the most expensive English player of all time back then. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that his representatives have held talks about filming a biopic of sorts on the prolific England international.

Raheem Sterling's representatives have spoken to producers in Los Angeles about filming a series on the Manchester City forward. Should the talks prove fruitful, the series would be released sometime next year. The decision to film a series on Sterling's life comes at an opportune time, considering that the England international already has a raft of commercial deals in his kitty.

A deal to film a series on his life will no doubt propel Sterling's popularity to new heights. Raheem Sterling is already the de facto face of the anti-racism campaign in world football. Sterling himself has been the victim of racial abuse while playing for both, Manchester City and England. More recently, he was subjected to racist abuse during Manchester City's game against Chelsea in December 2018.

Real Madrid calling for Raheem Sterling?

In other news, Real Madrid have decided to test Manchester City's resolve by planning to register a £70m plus Gareth Bale bid to lure Raheem Sterling away from the Etihad. Under Pep Guardiola, Sterling has taken his game to another level, with the 24-year old England international now being regarded as one of the most talented attackers in world football currently. However, with Bale's injury record and his sky-high wages, the deal seems unlikely to go through. If City were to win the Champions League this season, that could perhaps solidify Sterling's will to stay at the Etihad. However, earlier this season, Guardiola stated that the Citizens are still not well-equipped to challenge for the Champions League despite being one of the heaviest spenders in world football in recent seasons.
