Harry Redknapp: Liverpool will be forced to sell Raheem Sterling

The former Spurs, West Ham and QPR manager claims it is impossible to keep an unhappy player if he wants to leave.

Manchester City have seen a second bid of £40 million for the England winger rejected, but media reports suggest they will come back in again.

Liverpool value Sterling at around £50m. The player has two years left on his current contract, but is apparently keen to move on having infamously rejected a £100,000 a week deal at Anfield.

Sterling has been spotted on holiday in Ibiza on a water hoverboard.

“There ain’t a transfer that gets done without somebody speaking to someone. It’s all done that way.

“Whichever club it is in this country, they’ll have made an offer, had a meet with the agent or whoever, say this is what we can offer him, £150 grand a week, blah, blah, blah.

"He wants it, you say ‘son, you’re not going’ but how’s he going to play?

“He’s not ‘not going to try’, he wouldn’t do that. But if his head’s not right, you’ve got a problem.

“You try to get him in on his own, you talk to him, say you don’t want him to go but if he says he doesn’t want to stay then I think you’ve got to sell him.”
