Sterling has pinpointed the breakdown of his relationship with manager Brendan Rodgers as the reason he wants to leave.
"They all need to be men about the situation," he added.
“Raheem needs to go in and speak to the owners and to Brendan himself, tell them what he wants and go about it that way. You don’t have to throw illnesses in and refuse to go on tour.
"There are millions and millions of Liverpool fans around the world who are itching to see Raheem Sterling in a Liverpool kit.
"So I don’t think it’s fair on them if he is behaving like that.”
Gerrard has compared the actions of Sterling with Jordan Henderson, set to be named as the new Liverpool captain ahead of the tour.
"Raheem and Jordan are at different ends of the scale, Jordan's so professional, he's a winner, a great lad," said the 35-year-old.
"I don't think there's a more fitting player to take that armband off me.
"I see a lot of my game in Jordan's game and what I like about him is he's very humble."Explore more on these topics:
