Raheem Sterling has broken his silence as his contract talks with Liverpool continue to be played out in the media.
Sterling still has more than two years to run on his current £35,000-a-week deal but talks have been put on hold until the summer.
Sterling has been offered £100,000 per week, but his agent is asking for closer to £150,000 per week.
"I don't want to be perceived as a money-grabbing 20-year-old," he said. "I just want to be seen as a kid that loves to play football and to do the best for the team.
"It's not about the money at all. It's never been about money. I talk about winning trophies throughout my career. That's all I talk about.
"I don't talk about how many cars I'm going to drive, how many houses I've got. I just purely want to be the best I can be."
Sterling has been linked to Manchester City and Arsenal. Sterling called the interest from Arsenal "quite flattering."
