“Raheem Sterling is close to agreeing a deal to become a global ambassador for tech giant Apple,” Duncan Wright reports for The Sun.
“The Manchester City star has been lined up to be the figure-head of Apple’s promotional work around the European Championship this summer,” Wright reports. “Sterling will earn around £250,000-a-year to join the company’s global sports ambassador rosta that already includes the likes of Serena Williams and Neymar.”
Wright reports, “But the deal hinges on whether the 21-year-old can return to full fitness in time to be named in Roy Hodgson’s squad for the tournament in France this summer.”

MacDailyNews Take: Appropriate that Apple should have a Golden Boy on their marketing roster!
Not been so golden this season so needs to up his game considerably these last 6 matches or so, especially in the Champions League.
He’s an overpriced flash in the pan who got greedy. Really not someone I’d hope Apple would want to associate their brand with.
He’s also been seen on film inhaling hippy crack [nitrous oxide] and passing out. I’m a Man City fan and I can’t stand him. He’s definitely not someone I’d want mentioned with the Apple brand.
Sterling is suited to Samsung, not Apple. Apple should have gone for Rashford or maybe Walcott.
As a die hard Liverpool fan all I can say is the hope this doesn’t happen. But I suppose Apple are offering the most money so for that greedy little imp it’s a match made in heaven.

Looks like all Liverpool fans will be switching to Android now.
Bad move. $terling represents the worst example of a money-grabbing football diva. Also, he is unlikely to get in the current England squad. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
I bet this is meaningful to someone.
