Raheem Sterling has signed a five-year contract with Manchester City earning £200,000 per week.

Sterling will wear the No. 7 shirt for City.

Pellegrini said: “Raheem Sterling is one of the best attacking players in world football, and I am very much looking forward to him joining our squad out in Australia later this week.

“He is a young player with outstanding ability, and I am sure the Manchester City fans will be very excited about seeing him in action for the team.”

Brendan Rodgers addressed the media about the move on Monday in Thailand.

“I spoke to Raheem at length yesterday, there is no issue. Two clubs have agreed a deal and subject to a medical he will move on,” Rodgers said. “It’s important for us to improve and build the squad for this season coming. We are pleased with the players we have brought in. It’s the overall team that is important. We aim to be stronger than last season that will be reliant on everyone.”
