the raheem sterling contract situation at liverpool is coming to the boil, after the latest snub from the player’s representatives, and an indication that talks won’t resume until the summer brendan rodgers says he’s relaxed but i find that hard to believe he won’t want to lose sterling, a talent that he can rightly be proud of, and justifiably claim he has helped turn into a star quality player but i can’t understand why liverpool have consistently put the message out that there will not be a problem with the sterling situation the outcome of that policy is that sterling looks greedy – why do the football club want to make one of their star players look bad in the eyes of the supporters? raheem sterling's contract situation at liverpool is unlikely to be resolved until the summer  sterling and his representatives are understood to have knocked back the latest £100,000 a week offer  chelsea look knackered jose mourinho must start putting his faith in youth or he'll blow the premier league  if you view wayne rooney as anything other than a fantastic player then you have no passion for football  so now there is a situation locally with fans and the press are questioning his representatives, with the liverpool echo declaring this week that sterling ‘needs to ask who is looking after his best interests’ the answer to that question is simple in football terms, liverpool have looked after him in the same way qpr looked after him before he was snapped up by the reds, and in the same way real madrid might look after him if they choose to pay big money liverpool football club can’t expect too much loyalty from a player who was happy to leave qpr after seven years at loftus road what goes around comes around, i guess in financial terms   his agent is looking after his best interests, obviously he’s got a family, he wants to set himself up comfortably for the rest of his life, and i can’t think of a reason why a player shouldn’t be allowed to do that brendan rodgers says he is relaxed about sterling's contract situation at liverpool  sterling left qpr after seven years at the club  sterling’s contract runs out in 2017 and there is no way liverpool will want this impasse to continue if he even approaches the final year of his current deal without this being resolved, liverpool could lose out the days of a player accepting less than he feels he is worth because he is at a great club that gave him a big opportunity are long gone it’s naive to think otherwise a five year deal of £100,000 a week has been rejected by sterling daniel sturridge is on £150,000 a week is there a reason why sterling shouldn’t be on the same as sturridge? sterling is younger, but i’m not sure why age should come into it sterling has proved he can be a match winner, a key player and is a regular starter for liverpool – same as sturridge sterling’s fitness record is considerably better, which is unfortunate for sturridge, but when an agent is negotiating on behalf of his player it is definitely something which counts in sterling’s favour the big difference between the careers of sturridge and sterling is that sterling has proved himself at a much younger age why should he accept a less lucrative deal because of that? makes no sense if a player is committing to a club long term, then the deal has to be right the figures are ridiculous – but this is the premier league where players' salaries are abnormally high that’s not news and to expect sterling to launch his own one man crusade for fairer wages in football is laughable daniel sturridge is on a contract believed to worth £150,000 per week at liverpool  video rodgers has eye on second place  it’s a harsh reality for some who haven’t quite caught up with how modern football works, but sterling is an excellent footballer, and his agent is working for his player to get the best deal for him by making the offer of £100,000 a week, liverpool football club have told sterling that he is two thirds of the player sturridge is if the agent had accepted that then sterling would surely have sacked him
