Numerous reports suggest that Raheem Sterling is unhappy at Liverpool and will not sign a new deal.
It is a dramatic development with one game of the season yet to play. The story broke on Monday evening via a number of prominent news agencies, which suggests it came from sources close to the player.

The main complaints from the Sterling camp seem to be:
– The player is unhappy that the club have leaked details of a £100,000/week contract offer;
–Â The club have done little to protect the player from a negative press resulting from the leaks;
– The player feels he has been put under undue pressure by the club to sign a new deal.

Liverpool remain adamant that the situation has not changed; the player has another two years left on his current deal and will not be sold.
Whether or not Raheem Sterling’s complaints are valid, the relationship between player and club looks to be at an all-time low.
If the reports are to be believed, it will take a great deal of work and healing for Raheem Sterling to remain a Liverpool player.
