Sterling, Ben Chilwell, and other first teamers have been frozen out by boss Enzo Maresca.
Per The Mirror, Sterling has accepted the situation and will look to find a club between now and the end of the month.
"I spoke with Raheem before the City game, I said he will struggle to get minutes with us," coach Enzo Maresca told reporters on Wednesday.
"I don't think this is brutal, just honest. If (Sterling) wants a chat again I'll tell him what I already told him.
"I am not saying Raheem is not a good player but I prefer different kinds of wingers. It's simple."
