Manchester City have reportedly tabled an improved bid for Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling.
The England international is said to have recently attracted an offer worth £30m from City, which the Merseysiders rejected.
The 20-year-old has been linked with an exit from Anfield after his agent claimed that he had no intention of signing a new contract with the Reds.
According to Sky Sports News, Liverpool have received a second bid from City for Sterling which is in the region of £40m.
Sterling has two years remaining on his current deal at Liverpool.
