Manchester City star discusses transfer and Brendan Rodgers
Raheem Sterling has sang the praises of Liverpool Football Club for the way they dealt with the transfer to Manchester City.
Sterling made it clear he wanted to leave Anfield after they failed to win a trophy and qualify for the Champions League, and despite Liverpool knocking back a few offers from City in the first place, they eventually accepted a mega-bid of around £50million.
It was a controversial season for Sterling, with media appearances and his agent stealing the headlines, but in the end he got the move he wanted and he has praised the club for how they dealt with the saga.
Sterling Thanks Liverpool
“When everything was going on and it was in the papers every day, everyone at Liverpool was top-notch,” he told the Guardian.
“I spoke to the manager every day. I spoke to all the players.
“Everyone outside the club made it out as being something really bad but there was no problem with the manager or the other players.
“The manager even invited me over to his house to talk. It wasn’t anything like as bad as people made out.”
