Manchester City's in-form winger Raheem Sterling has signed a three-year contract extension to keep him at the club through to 2023, the English champions said on Friday.

The 23-year-old England player, who has seven goals in 14 games this season, said he was in the best place to improve, having played in several positions under Pep Guardiola.

British media said Sterling's deal was worth up to £300,000&nbsp;($389,000) a week, which would put him among the best paid players in the league.

“I’m delighted to sign," he told the City website https://www.mancity.com/news/first-team/first-team-news/2018/november/raheem-sterling-manchester-city-contract-extension-news. "My development here has been incredible.

"I felt from the minute I got here it was the right choice for me. It’s paid off and I’m really grateful.”

Sterling joined City from Liverpool for £49 million&nbsp;in 2015 and won the league title and League Cup last season.

“This is a significant moment for the Club," added City's Director of Football Txiki Begiristain.

"Raheem has improved dramatically in the past two seasons and is now one of the Premier League’s best attacking players. His statistics tell their own story.

“He’s quick, strong and excellent in front of goal – everything a modern-day forward needs to excel. We’re all delighted he has committed his future to City.”

Gerard Pique has signed a new contract&nbsp;with FC Barcelona on Monday.

The defender and the club agreed to extend Pique&#39;s contract until 2022 when he will turn 35-year-old.

&quot;Since I have arrived here, I can say every year I have won a title, and that we have always competed until the end, and that&#39;s the most important thing,&quot; said the Spaniard.

&quot;In the future, I hope we remain competitive until I retire,&quot; he added.

&quot;I just don&rsquo;t have the motivation to pull on another jersey.

&quot;I&rsquo;m still playing football because I play for Barca. If I was playing for another club the likelihood is that I would quit.&quot;

He has an emotional&nbsp;connect with the region and has taken active participation in Catalonia&#39;s independence movement.

Pique joined La Masia in 1997 at the age of 10-year-old but moved to Old Trafford in 2004.

&nbsp;Marcello&nbsp;Lippi&nbsp;will remain as China coach until at least the 2019 Asian Cup finals, the Chinese Football Association said on Thursday.

The Italian, who replaced Gao Hongbo last October, has kept China&#39;s slim hopes of qualifying for the next year&#39;s World Cup finals alive since taking over.

China take&nbsp;on Uzbekistan and Qatar in their final two qualifiers over the coming weeks, withLippi&#39;s team needing to win both and hope other results go their way to have any hope of progressing into the playoffs for a place in Russia.

&quot;We will strictly carry out our contract with&nbsp;Lippi, which expires after the 2019 Asian Cup,&quot; the CFA said in an article posted on their website on Thursday.

&quot;We won&#39;t interfere with his preparation and the line-up. In the meantime, we will support his group as always. We hope to support and trust each other.&quot;

By progressing to the final round of Asia&#39;s World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese have already secured their place at the quadrennial Asian Cup, which has been expanded to feature 24 teams for the first time in the United Arab Emirates in 2019.

China&#39;s best performance in the Asian Cup came on home soil in 2004, when they lost to Japan in the final. They reached the quarter-finals in the most recent edition, in Australia in 2015.

The team has shown some progress under&nbsp;Lippi, securing only their second win over South Korea in March, but their hopes of qualifying for a second World Cup finals were always remote after a poor start under Gao.

&quot;Since October 22 last year,&nbsp;Lippi&nbsp;and his coaching staff have helped China to get one win, two draws and one defeat in the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup,&quot; said the CFA.

&quot;The team has changed a lot tactically and mentally. We hereby take this opportunity to thank them all.&quot;
