Sturridge signed a new 5 year contract with LFC on October 3:rd 2014. He will thus be here until October 2019.
Sturridge is earning around £120,000 a week basic salary and it can reach £150,000 a week if he meet his performance clauses in the contract.
Now, how possible would it be that we manage to off load him to another club with that information at hand?
Who in their right mind would take him off our books by matching that salary package - for (mostly) one piece of injured player? And on top of that LFC won't let him go for free. I'm sure we at least would want to recoup the lion part of what we paid for him. At least around £10 M in other words.
Hence we are stuck with him for yet another 4 years! Lex Joe Cole applied once more, folks!
