The report has claimed that Tottenham boss Conte is interested in signing Sterling if Manchester City decide to sell him this summer.
However, according to the report, there are doubts whether Spurs would be able afford his transfer fee and wages.
Sterling, who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a forward, will ‘carefully weigh his options’ while he is on vacation and will hold talks with Manchester City about his future on his return.
Could Tottenham Hotspur sign Raheem Sterling from Manchester City?
In our opinion, Tottenham Hotspur could be able to sign Raheem Sterling from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
Yes, Sterling earns £300,000 per week as salary (Spotrac) and City will demand a hefty transfer fee for the England international, but Tottenham would be able to afford it, especially with the £150 million investment coming in.
Sterling is one of the best attacking players around who has developed and improved a lot under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
The 27-year-old England international scored 13 goals and gave five assists in 23 Premier League starts this season.
Tottenham will play in the Champions League next season and have a world-class manager in Antonio Conte.
Spurs could be appealing to Sterling.
Meanwhile, The Telegraph have reported that Tottenham are interested in Gabriel Jesus, and that the City striker is aware of it.
