Manchester City will make a £40million bid for Liverpool contract rebel Raheem Sterling.
The 20-year-old England international has told Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers he wants to leave the club, with deposed champions City and new Prem kings Chelsea potential destinations.
But when Sterling - BOOED by fans
as he collected the Reds' Young Player of the Year award on Tuesday
night - holds crunch talks with the club this week he will be told they
won’t sell him this summer.
Liverpool’s
American chairman Tom Werner and principal owner John W Henry will send
a message they are prepared to play hard-ball with the player, just as
they did with Luis Suarez two years ago.
The Reds' top brass,
though, are in no mood to get drawn into a war of words with the player
and his representatives - because they want Sterling to be part of a
bright future for their club.
Instead, they will offer a message
of appeasement to the hugely-promising forward, and explain they see him
as central to their plans to become a Premier League force over the
coming years.
City are expected to offer Sterling £150,000 a week if they can break
Liverpool’s resolve on a player who has two years remaining on his
current deal.
