Chelsea Clear favorites To Sign £150,000-A-Week Star, But Oscar Could Leave

Raheem Sterling was dropped to the bench yesterday as Liverpool lost their final game of the season 6 goals to 1 away to Stoke city. Definitely the coach is preparing for life without the winger next season, and a price of 60 million pounds has been put on his head.

His 35,000 pounds wages per week were increased to £90,000, but he refused to accept it. His agent has also declared that he would reject a wages times 10 of that as he is set to leave Anfield. Liverpool Chief Executive, Ian Ayre, has insisted the 20 year-old should see out his remaining 1 year on the deal, but as talks have fallen apart between both player and club, that wouldn’t be no longer happening.

His initial buyout clause of 45 million has however increased, and with Chelsea having shown earlier interest, they might still go ahead to bid for him despite the latest increase. Sterling has been one of the best Liverpool players this season despite the contract controversies. He was voted best young player of the season. He will no doubt be a great signing for Chelsea. 7 goals and 75 created-chances are in his credit this season, and he will definitely do much better with a side like Chelsea where trophies are guaranteed.

However, Chelsea should be able to afford him especially with reports that Oscar is off to Juventus for 30 million pounds.
