Arsenal
and Manchester City will go head to head for the signature of Liverpool star
Raheem Sterling, as per Sunday Express reports.
The
Reds unsettled attacker Sterling is eyeing to play Champions League football
and has set his eyes for a move this summer. Despite of being a regular player for the
Anfield side he is eyeing to go to a better side where his time is likely to be
limited.
Manchester City submitted a bid earlier this week which was around £30 million, however
Liverpool have clearly said that Sterling would not be sold for a fee less than
£50 million.
Brendan Rodgers is determined to get a big amount just like last summer when he sold
Luis Suarez to Barcelona for £75 million.
Arsenal
manager Arsene Wenger has been keeping tabs on him since his rejection to new
Liverpool deal earlier this year. While it is believed that the Gunners will
not be paying the demanded fee as it would be difficult for them to afford him.
Meanwhile,
former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez who recently got the new managerial role
at Real Madrid is also keeping tabs on his situation and could be planning to
launch a bid. Benitez signed Sterling from QPR when he was at Liverpool.
