Report: Raheem Sterling contract to include £60m buy-out clause

Liverpool will include a £60 million buy-out clause in Raheem Sterling's new contract, according to a report.

The 19-year-old is poised to pen a lucrative new deal with the Reds in the near future with £100,000-a-week wages to tie his future to the club.

Brendan Rodgers's side are keen to add the hefty clause to ward off interest in the England international from Real Madrid, who have been monitoring Sterling's situation at Anfield, reports The Mirror.

Sterling has scored three goals in 16 appearances for the Reds this season.
