Reds to keep prized Sterling

London - Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers declared on Thursday that Raheem Sterling will not be leaving the club at the end of the season after talks over a new contract broke down.

Sterling, 20, has two years left to run on his contract and is believed to have rejected a new deal worth £100 000 per week -- a significant improvement on his current £35 000-a-week salary.

He said in a BBC interview on Wednesday that he would not address his future until the end of the campaign, but Rodgers is confident the England forward will still be at Anfield for the start of the 2015-16 season.
