Raheem Sterling joined in all the fun and frolics at Stormzy’s #Merky festival this week and got to hang out with the man himself, after teasing his future plans once his days at Manchester City are over.
The 24-year-old footballer was among the celebrity guests at Ibiza Rocks Hotel, where Stormzy hosted his annual two-day music festival featuring performances from the likes of Chip, Headie One, Fredo, Mostack and, of course, Stormzy himself.
While chilling in the VIP area, Raheem was pictured hanging out with Stormzy and England footballer Jadon Sancho and it was hard not to notice that all three were wearing the same Calvin Klein underwear… maybe #Merky were giving them away for free?
Later, Raheem shared a video with a group of girls, one of whom appeared to be his girlfriend Paige Milian, whom he shares two-year-old son Thiago.
The footballer was in good company as rappers like Chip, Krept & Konan and Dave were among the a-listers lucky enough to grab a spot in VIP over the two days.
It comes after Raheem admitted he would love to transfer to a foreign team after his time at Man City, but the footballer does plan on staying at his current club for a while.
In a candid interview with GQ magazine, Raheem said: ‘Looking at it now it’s like, Manchester, I love it. I love it here.
‘This is one of the best clubs in the world and I’m here for the long haul. But you just don’t know what happens in the future. I’m still young and, like I say, I am loving every minute.’
Without naming a specific club of choice, Raheem suggested he could be off to sunnier climes and teased: ‘Ever since I was a kid, 100 percent it’s always been a dream of mine to play abroad somewhere.
‘It would be nice one day to finish training and go home and sit in your garden and eat some dinner.
‘I would need to see where it’s minimum 17C or 18C constantly.’
In the same interview, Raheem opened up about his experience with racism since joining the Premier League and admitted the first time he ever received racial abuse was when he signed to Liverpool in 2012.
