Man City fail in Sterling bid

Manchester City have reportedly had an initial offer rebuffed from Liverpool for star winger Raheem Sterling.

The Citizens are expected to be busy this summer, with manager Manuel Pellegrini likely to make a number of wholesale changes to his squad.

England international Raheem Sterling has revealed his desire to seek a fresh club, having seen the Reds fail to attain Champions League football for next season.

Reports now claim that the Citizens have failed with an initial bid of around £25m for the talented winger.

Liverpool are unlikely to settle for anything less than £50m for the Jamaican-born youngster.
