The Express has revealed that Liverpool forward and England international Raheem Sterling will be leaving the club this summer, according to talkSPORT.
It is rumoured that Sterling will be making a big money move to Real Madrid after the end of this current season.
The 20-year-old has arguably been Liverpool’s star player this year, as the Reds have begun to show last season’s class once again as of late.
Possible transfer ban
It has already been made public for a while that Real Madrid could soon face a transfer ban similar to La Liga rivals FC Barcelona.
Talks of this have appeared to have halted Madrid’s potential signing of Marco Reus this upcoming summer from Borussia Dortmund, who now looks likely of moving to the Premier League.
It has not been announced whether the current UEFA Champions League holders will face a transfer ban, but if they do what will become of this apparently already done deal?
This apparent deal was brought to life by the radio station known as talkSPORT’s La Liga expert.
A sterling signing
Real Madrid have already showed their intentions of signing young talent this past January Transfer Window, with the signing of 16-year-old Norwegian wonder kid, Martin Odegaard, and now they look to be bringing in one of England’s top young talents.
The Liverpool and England winger was signed by Rafael Benitez from Queens Park Rangers’ Academy in 2010 for a fee of £600,000, and in 2012 made his senior Liverpool debut, aged just 17.
Since his debut Sterling has made 82 appearances for the Merseyside club, and has scored 16 goals in the process. Along with this he has also earned 13 caps for Roy Hodgson’s England side.
With the whole possible transfer embargo against Real Madrid and no word coming from Liverpool as a club itself, this is a definitely a story which is going to have to be tracked and kept an eye on.
