Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers expects Raheem Sterling to see out the remaining two years of his contract despite claims made by the winger’s agent that the England international will snub any new deal.

Sterling’s future has been the subject of intense media scrutiny since he put contract talks on hold with his agent Aidy Ward saying this week that the 20-year-old would not extend his stay even if he was offered £900,000 a week.

Liverpool scrapped a meeting with Sterling yesterday to discuss his future following Ward’s comments but Rodgers expects talks to resume after this weekend’s final game of the season.

“The facts are simple. Raheem has two years left on his deal at Liverpool and I expect him to see the two years through,” he said.

“Raheem has made it clear he wants to speak at the end of the season so for us the concentration is on the last game and I am sure talks will take place over the course of the summer.

“I have not seen Raheem being unhappy. He is a young boy who has developed incredibly well over the last three seasons and I hope the development continues.”

Sterling won the club’s young player of the year award on Tuesday and was jeered by some fans, while others shouted “Stay, Raheem” as he picked up the accolade.

Fifth-placed Liverpool face Stoke City tomorrow and Rodgers said Sterling was available for selection as he remained on good terms with one of England’s brightest young prospects.

“My relationship with Raheem has not been affected,” he said.
