Report: Chelsea monitor Raheem Sterling amid halt in Liverpool contract talks

Chelsea are reportedly keeping an eye on Raheem Sterling's contract situation at Liverpool.

The England international is believed to be in talks with Anfield bosses regarding a new contract, but a deal is yet to be reached.

Manager Brendan Rodgers is confident that the 20-year-old will sign fresh terms, but recent reports have stated that talks have stalled for a second time.

According to The Express, Chelsea are keeping track of developments on Merseyside and could be ready to pounce should Sterling decide to look elsewhere.

It is believed that the youngster is holding out for a contract worth in the region of £100,000 per week after he rejected a £70,000-a-week offer.
