Last summer, Manchester City was interested in signing forward Arsenal Alexis Sanchez, but the "Gunners" requested in exchange for the player "townspeople" Rahim Sterling.

As a result, the deal did not take place, and the young Englishman became one of the leaders of the attack of Pep Guardiola's team and, according to rumors, will soon sign with the "blue moon" new contract.

"Our club's attitude towards Sterling was very clear. When Arsenal wanted it at the start of the season, we answered: "Without a chance, this will not happen," said Guardiola.

"Believe me, I did not reveal Rahim and I have nothing to do with his successes.

This is only his merit, he did it himself, it's all about his talent. He showed an amazing game back in Liverpool when he was very young, and that's why Manchester City paid such huge money for him ".

In the current season, the 22-year-old striker scored 13 goals and gave two assists in 19 games for Manchester City in all tournaments.
