Liverpool will pocket £1million from Manchester City's Premier League title triumph.

The Reds are due the cash under the terms of Raheem Sterling’s acrimonious £49million move to the Etihad back in the summer of 2015.

Liverpool agreed an initial fee of £44million with potentially a further £5million to follow in performance related add-ons.

One of those add-ons was triggered on Sunday when Manchester United's defeat to lowly West Brom saw Man City crowned champions.

Pep Guardiola's side are 16 points clear of United with just five games remaining.

Sterling has played an important role with 17 goals and eight assists in the Premier League so far this term.

He became the most expensive English player ever three years ago after agitating for the move to City. Liverpool rejected two bids before City finally met their asking price.

Liverpool had to pass on 20% of the fee they got Sterling to QPR, who they signed him from in 2010.
