Liverpool FC star Raheem Sterling would cost up to £100million to buy, according to Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini.

And the Chilean has also revealed rumoured Reds target James Milner could leave the club at the end of the season if he receives the offer of regular first-team football.

Sterling has enjoyed a meteoric rise at Anfield over the past few years, becoming one of the club’s most important players and an England regular.

And the Chilean, who was lamenting the cost of English players in general, revealed what he feels City would have to pay to prise the star from the Reds.

‘Can you get [Raheem] Sterling?” said Pellegrini. “Maybe if you go to Liverpool with £100m you can.”

Speculation over Sterling’s future at Anfield has inevitably come following his current contract situation, with the player yet to sign the deal on the table.

City, meanwhile, have a similar situation with Milner, with the 29-year-old’s contract expiring at the end of the season.

Liverpool, along with several other Premier League clubs, have been linked with a move for the versatile Englishman.

And despite Pellegrini’s admiration for the midfielder – as well as the club’s desire to see him stay at the Etihad Stadium – he admits Milner may move elsewhere.

On Milner’s future, Pellegrini told the Daily Mail: “I hope he stays. If he doesn’t it will be because there’s an important offer.

“The club wants Milner to continue and he wants to stay but maybe he wants more games.

“I understand. I’m Milner’s number one fan. Find me a more complete English player. There are players who’re better technically, yes. Quicker players, yes. Players who head better, yes.

“But show me one who does all the things Milner does well. There isn’t one.”
