Sterling saga set to rumble on

The saga over Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling’s future is likely to rumble on well into the summer after the club turned the tables on his agent.

Sterling and representative Aidy Ward were due to meet manager Brendan Rodgers and chief executive Ian Ayre on Friday for the reopening of talks which were halted in March after the 20-year-old rejected a £100,000-a-week deal.
