Raheem Sterling’s value has skyrocketed since leaving Liverpool in 2015.
Liverpool sold Raheem Sterling to Manchester City for around £49 million in 2015.
At the time it looked like a decent bit of business, and selling him seemed like the best option after the jet-heeled winger resorted to missing training in an attempt to force the move to Eastlands.
But less than three years on, Sterling has been a massive success at City, evident by his current value.
According to CIES, Football Observatory, the 23-year-old is now worth an eye-watering £123 million and you can see why.
Under Manuel Pellegrini, Sterling had a fairly disappointing first season in Manchester and only managed six Premier League goals, prompting a bit of stick from Liverpool supporters.
But the England international has looked a different animal entirely since Pep Guardiola arrived.
Sterling has netted 22 goals and bagged 13 assists in his last 51 Premier League starts under the Spanish manager – including a personal-best 15 this season – and he can claim to have played a big role in City’s inevitable title success.
Fans of the Anfield club might not like to admit it, but he has improved since leaving Merseyside and deserves praise for the way in which he has lived up to the hype at the Etihad.
