Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Raheem Sterling's move to Manchester City from Liverpool is imminent, and says that there is no rift between him and the England international.
"Raheem & I have always remained very strong in our relationship and that remained the case when we left. There is no issue there," he told reporters.
"The situation is very simple. The club has agreed a deal with another club for Raheem subject to a medical that'll go through."
"My only interest is in the players who are here to work and prepare for the season ahead," he said.
On the other hand, Arsene Wenger said "It looked a done deal for a while because Sterling was adamant he wanted the move."
"It is a good buy for Man City. It is an expensive one but they can afford it."
"We never considered it because he plays in an area where we have plenty of players. We have [Theo] Walcott, [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain, [Alexis] Sanchez, [Jack] Wilshere who can play wide, [Serge] Gnabry, so we have plenty of players and he’s a wide player basically, or behind the striker."
