Some reports suggest Sterling could cost as much as £50m to sign

It is understood to reduce to 20 per cent if he is sold to a club in England

Queens Park Rangers could pocket up to £12.5million if Liverpool allow Raheem Sterling to sign for another club.

Sterling moved to Anfield for just £500,000 in 2010 and the deal included a 20 per cent sell-on clause for QPR if he is sold to another English club, rising to 25 per cent if he moves abroad.

The Liverpool winger recently told Brendan Rodgers that he wants to leave, meaning any club willing to pay the £50m previously reported could see QPR receive £12.5m.

Whether the England international is worth anywhere near that figure is another matter, but even a £30m bid from a club abroad would see recently-relegated QPR receive £7.5m.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus are among the clubs tracking Sterling's talks with Liverpool scheduled for this week.

Rodgers wants to keep Sterling with the 20-year-old's contract not expiring until June 2017, but the starlet previously turned down a deal worth £100,000 per week.

Sterling was booed by supporters at the club's annual awards ceremony at the Echo Arena on Tuesday night after winning the Young Player of the Year gong.

The Etihad remains Sterling's most likely destination if he leaves as City bosses believe a bid of £40m would be enough for Liverpool to relinquish their grasp, meaning QPR would get £8m.

The windfall would be welcomed by QPR, who are locked in legal proceedings with the Football League as Tony Fernandes's club face a fine of up to £58m for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.
