Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he had no problem with Raheem Sterling expressing his admiration for Real Madrid after the England winger’s comments sparked talk of a move to the Spanish club.
Sterling was photographed in the Madrid-based sports daily AS with a City shirt on one shoulder and a Madrid shirt on the other.
The 25-year-old, who is under contract to City until 2023, was very complimentary about the Spanish giants when asked, describing them as a “fantastic club”.
“Right now I’m at City and I am very happy but I also have to say that Madrid is a fantastic club,” Sterling said in the AS interview.
