​ Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling has been told to forget about his future away from Liverpool FC and concentrate on linking up with his current team-mates ahead of the Reds' pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia in a few week's time.





Manchester City are believed to preparing a third offer, but according to the Daily Mirror, Sterling has been clearly informed he has no choice but to serve his club duty with the traveling squad next month.





City have already had two bids for the unsettled 20-year-old rejected and it is thought Sterling is desperate to have his future sorted sooner rather than later so as to avoid further hostility from Liverpool fans who have now turned on him.





The England international was subjected to heckling and abuse from Liverpool supporters at the club's annual award ceremony last month and again on the final day of the Premier League season during a humiliating defeat at Stoke.





Sterling and his agent, Aidy Ward, have both made it perfectly clear he wants to leave. Ward even unadvisedly declared that not even a ridiculous offer of £900k-per-week would be enough to make the player sign a new contract and commit to Anfield.









However, Sterling cannot escape his duties and is expected to report for pre-season training as normal. Liverpool are to begin their training programme at the start of July, while Sterling and other international players have been given until the 6th of the month to return.





The squad will then fly to Thailand, where the first tour game will be held on the 14th.





Even with Liverpool's reluctance to do business, many now believe that Roberto Firmino's Anfield arrival will ensure it is only a matter of time before Sterling is finally sold.





The Brazilian has turned many heads with his performances for Hoffenheim over the last two years and even two-time FIFA World Player of the Year Ronaldinho is excited by what he will add to the squad.
