City’s original offer – £25m plus £5m in add-ons – was rejected by Liverpool.
However, according to the Daily Mail, the Etihad Stadium side have returned with a £40m bid.
City were apparently toying with the idea of offering Edin Dzeko in part-exchange, but Liverpool, who value Sterling at around £50m, want cash only.
