Sterling is contracted to Liverpool for a further two seasons and the club have said he is not for sale but according to the BBC, an offer in the region of £35m would be tempting. Manchester City are said to be the main contender for his signature with Arsenal and a number of European clubs also interested. Sky Sports say that Sterling feels as if he is being "bullied" into signing a new contact.
