Liverpool rejected Manchester City’s second bid for Raheem Sterling this week – reportedly worth £40m.
The Reds accept that the 20-year-old will be sold this summer, but Anfield chiefs are confident of getting the full £50m asking price.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Liverpool would like to replace Sterling with AS Monaco star Lucas Ocampos, who is valued at around £14m.
