Raheem Sterling set to sign for Man City for £45m

Manchester city are preparing a £45m bid for Liverpool's Raheem Sterling after the Anfield club rejected two offers, the second offer was said to be £35m with £5m worth of add-ons.

According to Daily star, Liverpool are adamant they will only be tempted by cash, which City have in abundance.

And with Sterling reporting back to Liverpool’s Melwood training complex tomorrow morning, it is understood he will not be there long before City attempt to prise him out at the third time of asking.

City believe they are in pole position to land Pogba, 22, after a deal with Barcelona failed to happen, even if they have to wait until next season.

De Bruyne, 24, who Wolfsburg estimate is worth £58m, also reports back to his club tomorrow and he will go straight into talks to decide his future.

Delph, 25, could be plucked from Aston Villa for just £8m after having a release clause written into the contract he signed earlier this year.

City have earmarked Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik, 27, as a back-up buy for £20m if other deals hit a stumbling block.
