Liverpool FC are yet to make a move on a contract extension for 20-year-old Jamaica-born winger Raheem Sterling. The club have been in talks with Sterling, but the two sides remain far apart in negotiations, according to reports.

The club has reportedly offered to increase Sterling's wages from £30,000 per week up to £70,000 but this offer has been rejected by the midfielder's representatives.

Despite the unrest regarding his future, Rodgers insists Sterling is content at the club, and he is confident the two sides will work out a compromise.

"I think if you look at Raheem's performances, that is what will do the talking," Rodgers said.

"I think you see at the moment he is very happy. He is at a club that he loves being at. He enjoys playing here. He has obviously been given an opportunity as a young player.

It's between the club and his representatives to sort out a deal but, certainly, there has been no unhappiness."

"I know Raheem very well, and I see him training and playing. At this moment in time, you can see he is happy, so I am sure that will get sorted out in time," he added.

Rodgers also denied there is a growing imbalance between what his club can achieve in the transfer window compared to tomorrow's opponents, Manchester United.

While he accepts their arch-rivals were far more successful in securing big-name signings in the summer than he was with his own targets, he remains confident in the players at his disposal.

"For us at Liverpool, we don't compare to anyone, we look to ourselves, and all you can do is make sure you remain solid inside of your work," Rodgers said.

"But my focus is only on the players we were able to get and work with them," said Rodgers. "They (United) have some outstanding players. They had a good squad before that, but they have brought in some very good players and got a very experienced manager leading them."
