Raheem Sterling And Brendan Rodgers: Where Did It All Go Wrong?

Where Did It All Go Wrong Between Sterling And Rodgers?
|

Liverpool midfielder Raheem Sterling is determined to leave Liverpool this Summer.

Despite Sterling reportedly telling manager Brendan Rogers he no longer wants to play for the club, Liverpool have turned down two offers from Manchester City for the £50m-rated England international.

A newspaper claimed that Aidy Ward, Sterling's agent, had told them the player would not sign a new contract at Anfield even if he were offered £900,000-per-week.

But Sky Sports reported that Ward “denies quotes attributed to him in the Evening Standard and is now taking legal advice about it.”

So where did it all go wrong for Sterling and Rodgers?
