Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling was booed as he received the Young Player of the Year award at the club's ceremony on Tuesday.
Reports emerged on Monday that the 20-year-old had told the club he wanted to leave at the end of the season.
It was the latest development in a drawn-out saga, which saw the England international come in for criticism after giving an interview to the BBC back in April, revealing he had turned down Liverpool's offer of a £100,000-a-week contract.
According to national and local press at the ceremony, Sterling was booed as he accepted his award, which he won ahead of Emre Can and Lazar Markovic.
