adminLiverpool have formally rejected a second bid from Manchester City for England forward Raheem Sterling. It is understood the new offer was a basic £35.5 million, which would have risen to nearer £40m when various extras were added. The Reds value the 20-year-old, who has also been linked with Arsenal and Real Madrid, at £50m.
Last week Liverpool turned down a bid of £25m, plus add-ons, from Premier League rivals City.
Sterling is under contract until 2017, but has rejected the offer of a new £100,000-a-week deal.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said last month he expected Sterling to stay at Anfield for the remainder of his current deal.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel Clyne is set to snub Manchester for Liverpool this summer, according to reports.
The Liverpool Echo reports that Liverpool are the odds-on favourites to land Manchester United target Nathaniel Clyne in a summer move.
The British publication believe that Southampton have begun to prepare for life after Clyne, by signing Sporting Lisbon full-back Cedric Soares at a fee of €6.5 million.
