Liverpool chairman, Tom Werner, is confident that Raheem Sterling will commit himself to the club by signing a new deal.
The starlet has come under questioning in recent weeks over his tactics of playing hardball over a new contract, but the mood around the club is that he will sign a new deal before the end of the season.
According to reports, Sterling is holding out for a contract near £100k-a-week, but The Reds are only offering him £70k at the minute, which is still more than double his current deal of £30k.
When asked about the winger’s future, Liverpool’s chairman, Tom Werner said: ‘All I can say is that I’m hopeful that we’ll conclude a deal.
‘Obviously it’s important for us. He’s an exceptional player.
‘Brendan and Ian Ayre are quite involved and Brendan is talking to Raheem about this and I hope and expect a very positive outcome that is good for Raheem – and good for the club.
‘I would say that I’m confident that we will reach an agreement that works for all parties.’
