Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling said Wednesday he
will wait until the end of the season to discuss a new contract with
the Premier League club.
The 20-year-old England international has two years remaining on a
deal that pays him 35,000 pounds (52,000 dollars) per week.
"It's never been about money," Sterling told BBC Sport. "I talk about
winning trophies throughout my career. That's all I talk about.
"I just purely want to be the best I can be. I don't want to be
perceived as a money-grabbing 20-year-old."
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said last month he was confident
Sterling will make the "right decision" and stay at Anfield, though
he acknowledged talks had stalled.
Sterling's future has been the subject of media speculation that
has linked him with a number of European clubs including Arsenal,
Manchester City and Real Madrid.
"Me, the club and my reps have spoken about it and put talks on hold
until end of season, so it's frustrating to hear the contract
situation keep going on and on," he said.
"I just want to focus on football and, when it gets to the end of the
season, assess my position as a 20-year-old player playing in the
Premier League."
