Print Edition
Raheem Sterling鈥檚 agent has fuelled the fire surrounding the player鈥檚 contract standoff with Liverpool by saying the England winger would not sign a new deal at Anfield 鈥 even for 900,000 pounds (US$1.41 million) a week.
The 20-year-old has developed a reputation as one of England鈥檚 brightest young prospects, but has been at the center of media frenzy in recent months surrounding his contract negotiations.
The player and his agent, Aidy Ward, are set for a showdown talks with Liverpool.
鈥淗e is definitely not signing,鈥 Ward told the Evening Standard. 鈥淗e鈥檚 not signing for 700, 800, 900 thousand pounds a week. He is not signing.鈥
Sterling, who was given his Premier League break by Liverpool and shone as it launched an unexpected title challenge last season, has come in for criticism from former Anfield greats. The player鈥檚 relationship with the club and fans has also deteriorated since he gave an unauthorized interview to the BBC when he denied being a 鈥渕oney-grabber.鈥
鈥淢y job is to make sure I do the best with them (my clients). If people say I am bad at my job, or they are badly advised it does not matter,鈥 he said. 鈥淎ny of the criticism from current pundits or ex-Liverpool players 鈥 none of them things matter to me. It is not relevant.鈥
Elsewhere, Germany defender Mats Hummels has ended speculation about a possible transfer to Manchester United by confirming he will play for Borussia Dortmund next season.
The 26-year-old Dortmund captain said he will fulfil his contract which expires in 2017.
