Sterling to Real Madrid? Rodgers relaxed about speculation over Liverpool star's future
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insists he has no fears about losing Raheem Sterling to Real Madrid.

The 19-year-old has made a huge impact since forcing his way into the first team and is reportedly being tracked by the Spanish giants.

For Rodgers, their interest in the player comes as no surprise, but the Reds boss is relaxed about the speculation, with Sterling under contract at Anfield until 2017.

"It shows that he's playing exceptionally well," said Rodgers, speaking ahead of the Merseyside derby with Everton.

"I think you could probably link Raheem with every club in the world at the moment. He's a fantastic young talent.

"I've nothing really to add to it. There's obviously lots of speculation every day about players coming and going here at Liverpool.

"He's a wonderful boy who's developing very, very well here. I think him and his representatives and the people close to him know how comfortable he is here and I'm sure at some point in the future, whatever contract we're looking to work with will be sorted, but he's still got three years left and there's no rush from my perspective."
