The 20-year-old has reportedly stalled on signing a new contract at Anfield – with his current deal due to expire at the end of next season – as he holds out for a wage hike of £150,000 a week. The situation has alerted Pep Guardiola, who has sent some of his scouts to watch the England international.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted that if a new contract is to be agreed, it may not be until the summer. However, if Sterling decides against penning his future to the club, then the Reds may be forced to sell him during the next window, rather than let him go for nothing in a year’s time.
The Bundesliga champions join a long, and ever expanding queue for the winger which includes Premier League rivals Manchester City, and Champions League holders Real Madrid.
