Manchester City are considering offering Liverpool a second bid for Raheem Sterling.

City's first bid was just £25 million with another £5 million in add-ons.

Liverpool’s valuation of Sterling is over £50 million and City having gone in relatively low as their opening move merely increases the chances of drawn-out and potentially difficult negotiations.

Sterling has already turned down Liverpool’s offer of a new £100,000-a-week contract and knows City can give him significantly more, as well as the promise of Champions League football and a greater likelihood of winning trophies.
