Raheem Sterling will not be travelling on Liverpool’s tour of Thailand, Australia and Malaysia after a bid of £45m reportedly came in from Manchester City.
The 20-year-old was initially named in Brendan Rodgers’ 30-man squad to embark on the Reds’ pre-season tour but transfer talks between the two clubs are now thought to be taking place.
Sterling has reportedly already agreed personal terms with City that will see him earn around £200,000-a-week.
Not bad for ‘not a greedy 20-year-old.’
Liverpool are expected to spend around of the Sterling fee on Real Madrid winger Denis Cheryshev, a Russian-born 24-year-old who spent last season on loan at Villareal.
