London (AFP) - Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has told Raheem Sterling he should accept the club's "incredible" contract offer for the good of his career.
Sterling has yet to sign a new deal with the Reds despite lengthy negotiations and Rodgers revealed on Monday that the 20-year-old had received an offer of significantly improved wages around one month ago.
The England international has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and several other European heavyweights are also said to be interested in his signature.
But Rodgers insists Liverpool have been more than generous with their offer, especially since he believes Anfield is the perfect environment for the youngster to continue his meteoric rise since joining from QPR in 2010.
"The club has offered an incredible deal for a young player and I have spoken to Raheem a number of times and he is very happy here and I think you see that in his game," Rodgers said.
"He has made some great strides in these last couple of years and has now got reward for that and hopefully his representatives can find agreement with the club.
