British media have reported that the UAE's First Division League could witness two major transfers following the Italian superstar Mario Balotelli's recent move to Al-Taawoun during the current winter transfer window. Rudy Galetti, a journalist for the British 'TikTok' network, revealed via the X platform that 'FC Palm City', based in Dubai, has begun preparatory steps to strengthen its attacking line after placing English superstar Raheem Sterling on its list of interests for the upcoming period and started gathering information on the possibility of signing him on a free transfer. He explained that the management of 'FC Palm City' is monitoring Sterling's contractual situation and is considering including him in a plan aimed at reinforcing the attacking line with players who have previously excelled at the highest European and international levels. He pointed out that this move is part of a technical vision through which the club's management seeks to elevate the team's quality and build a project capable of competing by attracting names with a rich record in major tournaments, whether at the club or national team level, which would give the team a significant technical and experiential boost on the field. He added: 'In the same context, 'FC Palm City's' interest is not limited to Sterling alone, as the club is monitoring several options to strengthen its squad, including German midfielder Mario Götze, who enjoys wide technical appreciation due to his extensive experience in the Champions League and the World Cup, and his ability to create and control the rhythm of the match in the center of the field, reflecting clear ambitions for the club in the upcoming phase.' It is worth noting that Al-Taawoun, competing in the UAE's First Division League, recently announced the signing of Italian superstar Mario Balotelli, making the league a global focal point after attracting heavy-weight players. Raheem Sterling is considered one of the most prominent names on the list, given his impressive record in the English Premier League and the Champions League, in addition to his long experience with the England national team. In the same context, the report confirmed that Palm City's interest is not limited to Sterling alone, as it is also monitoring German midfielder Mario Götze, who possesses a high tactical vision and extensive experience in major tournaments, topped by the World Cup and the Champions League. Mario Götze is considered one of the most prominent players of his generation in German football, and his name is linked to one of the most important moments in the history of world football after he scored the winning goal for his country in the 2014 World Cup final against Argentina led by Lionel Messi, leading Germany to its fourth World Cup title in history. Götze's goal came in extra time, immortalizing his name in the World Cup annals as the scorer of the decisive goal in one of the strongest finals. Götze emerged early with Borussia Dortmund under Jürgen Klopp before moving to Bayern Munich, where he won several domestic and continental titles.
