Liverpool have reportedly stalled in placing a former contract offer on the table for youngster Raheem Sterling.
The Merseyside outfit are believed to be keen on keeping hold of the 17-year-old, who has launched into the first team under manager Brendan Rodgers.
While Rodgers recently claimed that the winger wants to stay at Anfield, it is understood that the Premier League outfit have yet to offer the England international a firm offer, according to the Liverpool Daily Post.
Reports have claimed that Sterling's representatives believe that the teenager is worthy of a higher wage due to his impressive form this season.
Sterling, who has 18 months remaining on his current deal, is believed to be in the sights of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
