Raheem Sterling open to move abroad if he does not get more game time.
“If there was the opportunity to go somewhere else, I would be open to it,” Sterling, 26, said.
“At this moment in time, football is the most important thing to me.”
“I have always had something that maybe one day I would love to play abroad and see how I meet that challenge.”
“I am not someone who complains,” he said, speaking at the FT Business of Sport US summit. “I have not tried to make it a bigger deal than it is. I am just raring to go, play football and score regularly.”
“If it was comments about something else, it would be taken a lot more seriously,” he said. “Racist abuse I don’t feel, is taken as seriously as other topics.
“It is something that we are still talking about and it is still happening.”
Sterling added: “My main concern was the well-being of my team-mates and making sure they were all right.
“No-one likes to miss a penalty. To have the belief to step up when millions are watching and then to be racially abused afterwards, it is disappointing.”
