If Liverpool had offered me a contract last summer I wouldn't be rejecting £100,000 a week

Raheem Sterling claims Liverpool's failure to offer him a contract last summer contributed to him rejecting a £100,000 a week new deal. The Liverpool winger says the postponement of negotiations is "nothing to do with money" but he has refused to rule out a summer move and risked further alienation from the Kop by suggesting he is "flattered" by links to Saturday's opponents, Arsenal. It is the first time the 20-year-old has spoken in depth about the contract impasse that has thrown his Liverpool future into doubt.
