# Liverpool: Journalist tips Raheem Sterling for Anfield return

**Liverpool are interested in re-signing Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling in what would be a sensational move, according to journalist Ekrem Konur.**

### The Lowdown: Sterling on the move?

The England international left the Reds for City back in the summer of 2015, just a few months before Jurgen Klopp took charge at Anfield. The 26-year-old has enjoyed an excellent career at the Etihad Stadium, [scoring 116 goals in 307 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/134425/verein/281) and winning [three Premier League titles](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/erfolge/spieler/134425) along the way.

Sterling has fallen out of favour of late, though, [starting just three league games](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/97692/Show/Raheem-Sterling) this season, and he could be allowed to leave if he wishes.

### The Latest: Liverpool linked with shock transfer

According to Konur on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Ekremkonur/status/1459806681018376192?s=20), Liverpool are keen on bringing the England international back to the club, in a deal which may come as a shock to many

The journalist tweeted: “Liverpool could make an offer to Manchester City for Raheem Sterling.”

### The Verdict: Won’t happen, but would be great

There will likely be plenty of Liverpool fans who won’t want Sterling back because of his [acrimonious exit](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/raheem-sterling-regrets-messy-liverpool-exit-admits-he-was-always-going-join-manchester-city-10398962.html) six years ago, but he could be a perfect addition for Jurgen Klopp. At 26, he still has years left in him, and his [pace](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2227981-raheem-sterling-and-the-10-fastest-players-in-the-premier-league), directness and consistent end product would make him an ideal option in the final third.

There was a need to bring in another attacker at Anfield in the summer but it didn’t happen, and Sterling seems tailor-made to thrive in Klopp’s system.

That being said, it would be a huge surprise if he ended up back at Liverpool given the nature of his 2015 exit, with a move abroad perhaps more likely even though Klopp has [hailed](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/dec/10/raheem-sterling-abuse-right-response-jurgen-klopp) him as ‘brilliant’ in the past.
