Raheem Sterling showed up for Liverpool's end-of-season awards ceremony on Tuesday as speculation over his future continued.
The England forward is due to hold talks with the club later this week, and it
is understood Liverpool's position is unchanged and they are not
prepared to sell Sterling this summer, and it was business as usual as
he joined his team-mates at the club's Melwood training ground before
boarding a bus to the ceremony.The 20-year-old, who has two seasons to run on his current deal, is likely to face Liverpool supporters at Tuesday night's function.
"If he decides to leave in the summer and the club gets paid what they want, then wish him all the best, but the way it's been handled has been poor on his behalf and as a club there's not much you can do - put a price on him, and if someone pays it you sell him and get other players in."
And selling Sterling this summer could even benefit Liverpool, according to Jan Molby, who won seven major honours with Liverpool.
He said: "It's not like Luis Suarez - you knew the impact that losing him would have. I'm not convinced if you sell Sterling it would have the same impact on the team, so it might not be a bad time to sell.
"Liverpool are still in transition and maybe the manager could do wth the money."
