Premier League leaders Manchester City are reportedly still waiting to hear responses from Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez and Gabriel Jesus on their contract offers.

Premier League leaders Manchester City are reportedly still waiting to hear responses from Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez and Gabriel Jesus on their contract offers.

The long-term futures of all three players at the Etihad Stadium remain uncertain as the attacking trio are set to see their contracts expire in June 2023.

According to TEAMtalk, Mahrez is the most likely to put pen to paper on a new deal, with his £120,000-per-week wages set to be increased following an impressive 2021-22 campaign for the Citizens.

However, the report adds that City are 'fearful' of the futures of both Sterling and Jesus, who are attracting interest from several foreign clubs.

Over the past 12 months, Barcelona have been strongly linked with signing Sterling, who has previously expressed how he is open to a move abroad at some stage in his career.

Meanwhile, Jesus is wanted by a number of clubs this summer, including Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.

Man City are believed to be willing to double the Brazilian's £90,000 a week wages, but they are yet to hear from the player or his representatives which is concerning the club's hierarchy.

The Citizens are also set to hold further talks with club captain Fernandinho, who is set to leave the club when his contract expires this summer.
