Harry Redknapp has urged Raheem Sterling to sign a new deal at Liverpool to aid his development.
The 20-year-old spoke publicly last month about his decision to turn down fresh terms at Anfield and is expected to tell the Premier League club of his desire to leave on Friday.
Sterling was booed as he collected the Young Player of the Year award at Liverpool's end-of-season ceremony on Tuesday and former Tottenham boss Redknapp thinks leaving Merseyside would be a mistake.
