“Raheem Sterling’s fragile relationship with Liverpool may be broken beyond repair when he tells manager Brendan Rodgers he wants to leave Anfield when they meet later this week. Liverpool have always been steadfast in their determination to keep Sterling despite the 20-year-old’s obvious and public reluctance to sign a new deal worth £100,000-a-week. Sterling, it seems, is equally determined to leave in a development which will come as another bitter blow to Liverpool as they recover from the impending departure of captain Steven Gerrard to LA Galaxy and the collapse of a season that saw them lose to Aston Villa in an FA Cup semi-final and fail to reach the Champions League.” BBC
