City believe they have made a vital breakthrough in their swoop for the talented youngster during advanced talks this weekend and trying to bring the deal to a swift conclusion.
Manchester City sources have told naijapost247 a deal for the youngster is finally nearing completion and Sterling will not travel to Asia for Liverpool's pre-season tour.
naijapost247 understands Sterling has already said goodbye to his Liverpool team-mates.
City have agreed to pay £45million for the England star, who has been Manuel Pellegrini's target No 1 summer target.
The next step for the recently deposed Barclays Premier League champions will be to agree personal terms with Sterling, who will miss the club's summer tour.
It is thought Liverpool made the decision to withdraw Sterling from their pre-season tour of Asia after the wantaway forward arrived at Melwood training ground along with his team-mates.
Liverpool had been holding out for £50m, however Manchester City believe the rift between Sterling and Brendan Rodgers will enable them to land the youngster for just shy of their rival's asking price.
