da esport bet： Finding the back of the net for the England national side has brought Raheem Sterling back into the headlines, the focal point being Sterling’s contract negotiations with current club Liverpool.
da bet esporte： The 20-year-old has tried to divert attention from the situation by saying he is focussed on football for the time being, and his contract will be sorted out come the summer. But does Sterling have big plans away from Anfield?
Sterling has been one to watch this term. On the opening day of the season, Raheem found the back of the net for Liverpool in a 2-1 win over Southampton. He scored again at White Hart Lane, where has was named the Man of the Match. Thus far, Sterling has six goals under his belt, as well as seven assists. Back in December, Sterling was the recipient of the Golden Boy award: an accolade previously received by Wayne Rooney, Paul Pogba and Lionel Messi.
But his form and applause has also resulted in Sterling claiming he has been tired during this domestic season. This is understandable; going from a title-challenging season, to the World Cup and then a new Premier League season is always going to take its toll on a player. But the youngster was heavily criticised for admitting his fatigue.

As Sterling has not signed a new contract, the transfer rumour mill has run wild. Arsenal are one of the teams in question hoping to secure Sterling’s signature, but they may been put off by his performance against them at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Tensions ran high between the two sides over the signing of Barcelona’s Luis Suarez, a battle which Brendan Rodgers won.
Aside from the north London club, though, Manchester City are also believed to be interested in securing his signature, as are Real Madrid, Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
Liverpool are thought to be offering Sterling a huge £100,000-a-week to keep him at Anfield, though some media outlets reporting the weekly wage could be double that. This is quite a step up from his current salary, thought to be roughly £35,000 per week. But, could the fact Sterling is cooling it on the contract front mean it’s about more than the money?
An opportunity to play for Real Madrid – if the rumours are true – may not come around again for Sterling. Could anyone turn down one of the biggest clubs in the world? Just ask Gareth Bale and you might get your answer.
Whether Raheem Sterling will be a Liverpool player or not, next season seems to be up in the air. Liverpool are keen to keep the midfielder, but he may have bigger and better offers elsewhere, especially if Brendan Rodgers’ side fail to qualify for the Champions League.
The Reds have just eight games left to play this season, so Sterling has little time to assess his options. But, if Real Madrid are interested, you would think there is a high chance Sterling could face his old team mate Suarez in the El Clasico next year.
