da gbg bet： Raheem Sterling may “get lost to the game” if he leaves Liverpool for Real Madrid, according to Reds hero John Barnes.
da bet vitoria： The 20-year-old England international has emerged as one of Europe’s finest young players over the course of the past 18 months, starring for the Merseysiders as they narrowly missed out on a first ever Premier League title before representing the Three Lions at the World Cup as a teenager.
His form has been just as impressive this term despite Brendan Rodgers’ side’s struggles, with the exit of Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard’s decline having increased his first-team importance.

However, his future is in some doubt as the 2016 expiration date on his contract ticks ever closer, with Sterling having already rejected numerous offers of an extension.
This has alerted the likes of Real Madrid, but Barnes is adamant that the skilful attacker should stay put as he’s not yet good enough for a club of such stature:
“If I was Raheem Sterling I would stay with Liverpool for the next three years,” he is quoted by Goal.
“I’ve seen it with other young players, a lot to do with their agents, a lot to do with the money they have been offered, that they rush off to big clubs.
“Of course Liverpool is a big club, but the temptation must be to go to Real Madrid or Barcelona or wherever, but the danger is that you can be lost to the game, and I can give you so many examples, like Jack Rodwell who went too early to Manchester City and Scott Sinclair who also went to Manchester City.
“With all due respect to clubs like that, they might turn out to be worse for them, and they end up going back and then not getting a move again.
“I would advise young players not to rush, but to stay at their clubs until they are 23 or 24.
“I went to Liverpool at the age of 23 by which time I was a 35-cap international players who could handle it.
“Raheem Sterling going to Real Madrid probably won’t play every week, probably will play under enormous pressure to perform as a £50m superstar, whereas at Liverpool the fans will accept that he doesn’t play well all the time.
“I would urge him and players like [Everton’s] Ross Barkley to stay where they are, and move clubs in three or four years time.”
