Raheem Sterling's advisors angered by B. Rodgers' comments

Raheem Sterling has NOT been made a new contract offer by Liverpool. 

Sterling’s advisors are angry after Brendan Rodgers publicly claimed the 17-year-old would be “very foolish” not to sign a deal with Liverpool. 

And they insist that no formal contract was put on the table in either of the two meetings that they had with Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre. 

The second meeting with Ayre came this week, but no offer was made. 

The Sterling camp were amazed when Liverpool manager Rodgers then went public in what could be seen as attempting to bully the teenager into signing. 

Rodgers said on Thursday: “If you are 17 and playing regularly, you would be very foolish not to commit yourself very quickly. If I was Raheem Sterling and his agents, I would look to tie it up very quickly. “Raheem’s (contract) has been ongoing, really. 

"The club and his representatives are in good dialogue and communication and ­hopefully we will get that resolved very soon, but there is no timescale.” 

Sterling’s advisors also insist the England ­international is not being greedy and has not asked for anywhere near £50,000-a-week. 

Rodgers' statement is in danger of backfiring as it has only highlighted the fact that Liverpool have yet to make a formal offer to Sterling, who turns 18 next week.
