Liverpool are not planning to cash in on Raheem Sterling this summer even if he refuses to sign a new contract
Sterling, 20, will have just two years left to run on his current deal at the end of the season.
The England midfielder has told the club he will not discuss a new contract until May after rejecting an offer close to £100,000-a-week.
That has led to some of Europe’s top sides sniffing around, including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich as well as the Reds’ Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester City.
They could try tempt the Anfield club with a big offer this summer.
But the Reds are not ready to offload the wing wizard if they cannot find a breakthrough in the long-running contract saga.
Liverpool would still receive a fee in two years’ time if Sterling’s contract was to expire because of his age.
But any fee now would be significantly higher than that with reports of clubs willing to shell out as much as £50m for one of England’s brightest stars.
