'Raheem and I have always remained very strong in our relationship'
It has been claimed that the pair’s relationship had broken down but the Northern Irishman has dismissed reports that bad blood has led to the winger’s imminent Anfield exit.
LIVERPOOL MANAGER Brendan Rodgers has denied there is any rift with Raheem Sterling and has confirmed the England international is on the verge of a move to Manchester City.
City have been successful with their third offer for the winger, with a bid of £49 million (€68.3m) set to bring an end to a long-running transfer saga.
The England international had threatened to go on strike before twice calling in sick to training in a bid to force a move away from the club, with Sterling’s agent, Aidy Ward, claiming there had been a “breakdown in trust” between player and manager.
“The situation is very simple,” he told reporters at a press conference in Bangkok. “The club has agreed a deal with another club for Raheem subject to a medical that’ll go through.
