Aidy Ward hints at conflict between the 20-year-
old and Brendan Rodgers, while West Brom ace
Saido Berahino has decided to part company with
the controversial agent
All trust between Raheem Sterling and Brendan
Rodgers has evaporated as he seeks to leave
Liverpool this summer, his agent Aidy Ward says.
The 20-year-old has already been the subject of
two failed bids from Manchester City and Goal
understands that they are now preparing a third
offer, worth over €60 million plus add-ons.
The Merseysiders still hope to keep Sterling but
may be forced to sell after the England
international told Liverpool bosses that he does
not want to join the squad for their upcoming pre-
season tour of Australia and south-east Asia .
Not long after his threat to strike, Sterling was then
absent from training on Wednesday after calling in
sick and Ward's latest remarks suggest that he is
unwilling to work under Rodgers any longer.
"With Raheem, there has been a breakdown in trust
between him and Brendan Rodgers," said Ward, as
quoted by the Daily Mail .
The 34-year-old agent has been criticised for the
bullish manner in which he has tried to engineer
an exit for Sterling, previously saying that not even
a €1m-a-week contract could tempt the youngster
to stay .
And now another of Ward's clients, in-demand
West Brom striker Saido Berahino, has parted
company with the controversial agent, with reports
suggesting that he had become disillusioned with
the tactics employed in the Sterling transfer saga.
"I'm no longer working with Saido. You'll have to
ask him for the reasons," Ward remarked.
Berahino, 21, has been linked with a host of clubs,
including Newcastle and Tottenham, after an
excellent campaign in which he scored 14 goals in
38 Premier League matches, as well as bagging
five goals in the FA Cup.
