20-year-old winger Raheem Sterling has been in talks with Anfield chief executive Ian Ayre over a new deal.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers believes Raheem Sterling’s advisers will agree a deal to keep him at Anfield.
The English midfielder’s current contract is due to expire in 2017 and the Reds are pushing for an extension.
“I’ll never be surprised that teams are linked with Raheem,” he said.
“He’s such a big talent, who’s just turned 20 years of age. He’s a wonderful young player and a very mature young man. I’m quite relaxed about it.
“We’re a club who are trying to build something here. We were on a path for a couple of years, and we’ve had to come off that path since the summer. We lost some players and we’ve had to regroup again.
“He’s a real talisman for this team. He’s been a great example of the progress that a lot of the players have made here. He’s gone from being the youngest team player to one of the top players in European football.
“The club, I’m sure, will work very hard, and Raheem’s happy here. He loves being a Liverpool player. So I’m sure, between the club and the representatives, we can get a deal done that sees him go on and develop what is an exciting career.”
