Raheem Sterling set for Liverpool preseason; Van Persie back at United


Defensive reinforcements are high on the agenda of several Premier League teams, as they look to strengthen their respective backlines.

With a number of players set to report back with their Premier League clubs on Monday for the start of pre-season training, Transfer Talk keeps up to date with all the latest rumours and
gossip as wanted targets face the music.
TOP STORY: Sterling faces uneasy return

While Raheem Sterling's transfer tribulations have been running for some time, there's plenty left in the tank for a bumpy ride between now and when the window snaps shut at 18.00 BST on Sept. 1.

Despite Manchester City's intense interest in the 20-year-old England international, the Guardian reports that Liverpool are expecting the forward back at preseason training on Monday morning.

What's more, Sterling faces the prospect of travelling to Thailand with Brendan Rodgers' squad next Sunday for the club's preseason tour of the Far East and Australia should City fail to make a £50 million offer.

But don't feel too sorry for young Raheem though -- according to theTelegraph, he has an "unusual" arrangement with his agent Aidy Ward whereby he will pocket up to 50 percent of the middle man's fee. The paper suggests that, should the 20-year-old go for £50 million, he could earn a cool £4 million for himself.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
