Barcelona are considering a move for Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling in this summer's transfer window, according to a report.
The 26-year-old, who is currently training with Gareth Southgate's England squad ahead of Euro 2020, has recently emerged as a potential target for the Spanish giants, who see him as an ideal replacement for Ousmane Dembele.
According to Sport, Barcelona are confident that they can raise funds from player sales in the next few months and are hoping to begin negotiations for Sterling soon.
However, the report also states that the Catalan club may table a player-plus-cash offer for the forward if they are unable to finance a cash-only deal.
Sterling has two years remaining on his contract with City, who are looking to offload players this summer to help finance potential deals for fellow England internationals Jack Grealish and Harry Kane.
Since joining from Liverpool in July 2015, Sterling has scored 114 goals in 292 appearances for City, winning three Premier League titles, five League Cups and one FA Cup.
