Raheem Sterling is set to sign a new deal at Liverpool, according to The Daily Mirror.
The highly rated 19 year old enjoyed a fine season for the Anfield outfit, scoring nine goals in 30 Premier League games, as Liverpool finished second in the Premier League table.
Sterling only signed a contract extension last year, but Liverpool are set to act swiftly and offer the England international quadruple wages to his current deal, to starve off interest from Spanish La Liga side Real Madrid.
The young Englishman currently earns around £30k-a-week, but this new contract could see him leap up to around £120k-a-week, seeing him become one of the club’s top earners.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers recently stated that Sterling is a big part of the clubs, and his plans for the future.
‘This kid is only going to get better. He’s way above the level from when he first came in. Tactically, technically, and what has been beautiful to watch with Raheem has been his maturity.
‘He’s turning into a beautiful young man, with all the responsibility. He’s still only 19, but in big games he’s performed and he’s a wonderful talent.’
