One other club that has the opportunity to secure Sterling is his former club, Liverpool. Sterling claimed to still love the Reds.
“Will I go back to Liverpool? To be honest, I love Liverpool. I can’t turn away from them because they are always in heart. Liverpool are a team that plays a major role in the growth of my career,” Sterling stated.
“Don’t misinterpret them because they are always in my heart. Liverpool are a team that helped me grow a great deal.”
Raheem Sterling was labeled as materialistic after leaving Manchester City in mid-July 2015 with a dowry of 63.7 million euros. Since then, Sterling appeared in 230 matches with a score of 89 goals plus 72 assists.
