Liverpool get tidy sum of cash from Manchester City’s Champions League glory

Nice bonus

That will pay James Milner’s wages for a fortnight.

Manchester City are still buzzing after their Champions League quarter final win over PSG on Tuesday night.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side defeated the French side 1-0 on the night to go through to the competition’s last four on aggregate.

That victory triggered a clause in Raheem Sterling’s contract and Liverpool are now richer to the tune of £300,000.

City paid Liverpool £44 million up front for the winger with another £5m due to be paid if Sterling and his new club reach certain targets, and results.

If City go on to win the Champions League, Liverpool would reportedly get a £200,000 top-up on that initial bonus.

What of Sterling himself?

The 21-year-old missed the quarter final ties with a groin injury but is hoping to be back for this weekend’s Premier League action.
