This entire discussion appears to be a moot point because it looks like he's agitating for a move. According to
ESPN, he is prepared to turn down a contract offer worth as much as £180,000 a week.
Here's the relevant paragraph:
Raheem Sterling should stay at Liverpool rather than cash out
Raheem Sterling's time at Liverpool may be drawing to a close. Sources from the player's camp have revealed that he is now prepared to turn down a contract offer worth as much as £180,000 a week. Sources from the club indicate that they are generous, but they are not stupid and they will not be messed around by a young man who has won the sum total of nothing and has played fewer than 100 Premier League games. There is much wrangling still to come, but with two years left on Sterling's contract, you suspect that this will be resolved one way or another this summer.
Declining, £180,000 a week for a player who hasn't a single honour to his name and less than 100 Premier League games under his belt isn't greed, it's a brazen attempt to move to a top European club where he'll rot on the bench if he's lucky, in the reserves if he's not. Still think the policy of developing young talent to win titles and trophies with is working, Mr Henry?
