We knew the parties interested in Raheem Sterling and now we know Liverpool’s price. £50million, according to The Telegraph.
As This Is Futbol informed you earlier this week, Premier League leaders Chelsea are lining up a bid for the 20 year-old Reds star this summer, whilst Arsenal have been strongly linked in the tabloids – some even suggesting a swap deal involving Gunners contract rebel Theo Walcott, as claimed by The Metro
Sterling recently revealed in an interview with the BBC that his ambitions for silverware have stood in the way of signing extended terms at Anfield – leading to a wave of speculation regarding a move away this summer.
Liverpool’s latest move however, to label the 2014 European Golden Boy with a £50million valuation, is an effort to out-price the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea in the coming window. It also puts the squeeze on Sterling; he’s currently paid just £35k per-week, and could lose millions over the course of next season if he doesn’t leave or sign a new deal.
