Yet the Reds are willing to offer Sterling £100,000-a-week
With interest from some of Europe’s top sides the Merseysiders may have to give into the forward’s wage demands if they want him to stay at Anfield.
According to the Mirror a £100,000-a-week contract will be offered to Sterling to reward the youngster for his fine form over the past 12 months.
Madrid are understood to be among the clubs interested in the Englishman should things with his current side turn sour.
