Liverpool offer an 'incredible' £70,000 per week to Sterling

 Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling has been offered an "incredible" new contract, but will not get "too much too young", according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

The 20-year-old's current deal runs until 2017, but a new contract has been on the table for more than a month.

"The club has offered an incredible deal for a young player," Rodgers said. "Liverpool's first offer of £70,000 a week was more than double the 20-year-old forward's current salary, and they have now increased that offer significantly.  - BBC
