# City to pay Liverpool another £500,000 as part of Sterling deal

Liverpool are set to bank around £500,000 from Manchester City as part of their deal to sign Raheem Sterling from the Reds.

[The London Evening Standard reports](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/raheem-sterling-set-to-trigger-liverpool-transfer-clause-man-city-form-means-49m-pay-day-a3988996.html) that the Premier League champions are closing in on another instalment of the £5 million in potential add-ons that they agreed to pay.

Manchester City paid an initial £44 million to sign the England star from the Anfield club and have since paid an extra £2.5 million in add-ons, with the Premier League title and his general development cited in the reasons behind the payments.

The next add-on is an appearance-based incentive, with Sterling needing just another seven Premier League starts before Liverpool are owed half a million from Manchester City.

It’s another payment that is a matter of when and not if, with Liverpool continuing to make money from the winger that they sold to the Premier League giants three years ago.
