Soccer, Premier League Rumors:
The rumors regarding Raheem Sterling haven’t stopped since the beginning of the season, but the most recent ones are looking pretty realistic. The Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers has stated that it’s very unlikely for the Reds to be able to re-sign Sterling before the season’s end. Furthermore, he has reported that Sterling has received and £180 00 per week offer, but has decided not to accept it. As a result, the speculations about the player leaving Liverpool are beginning to grow.
It’s quite shocking that the youngster has turned down this offer, as it’s one of the biggest Liverpool has ever made in its history. It’s hard to imagine how the front office of the Reds has reacted to this, as it is a huge sign that Sterling will most likely leave the club during the summer. These moves by the youngster make it clear that he wishes to pursue a career at a bigger club. However, is this the right way?
One of Liverpool’s legends, John Barnes stated recently that it is too soon for Sterling to leave the Reds.
“Raheem Sterling should absolutely sign the contract and stay at Liverpool. I would advise any young player who has just been in the game for a year or so to stay and learn his trade. Show a level of consistently over a four or five year period before you make a big move. You will then be judged as a £50 million player.
He needs another two or three years at Liverpool. Then, if he decides he wants to move on, fine. He has to be very careful though. Sometimes the bad advice is not only the most lucrative but also sounds like the best advice. He’s not been playing consistently well over a number of years though. Maybe his form has suffered because of all the speculation about his future.”
However, it seems very unlikely that Sterling will listen to the advice that he has been given. The fact that he rejected so much money makes it clear he wishes to leave Anfield. Furthermore, if Sterling really thinks of leaving the club, it will be great if he can just announce it and not give the team and its fans empty hopes. As ex-Liverpool captain, Jamie Carragher stated, it would be a good thing to do that, or the fans will turn against him.
