Chelsea rumours
The 20-year-old Reds wide-man is seemingly keen to quit the Anfield club after refusing to commit to a new deal on Merseyside, with a number of top clubs in England and Europe taking notice.
Previously valued at a staggering £50m, Sterling may now end up being available for just half of that at £25m, with his advisors considering the possibility that he would buy out the final year of his contract and invite the likes of Chelsea or City to make a bid for him at that reduced fee.
The England international has long been regarded as one of the most promising young talents in the Premier League, and certainly looks a player who could fit in at a number of other top sides, with Champions League football likely to be on his agenda.
