Raheem Sterling’s Future at Chelsea
Raheem Sterling, a winger for Chelsea, is reportedly on the radar of both Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen, according to an insider who spoke with ESPN. The 30-year-old has a contract that runs for another two years at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea is reportedly looking to transfer him for approximately £20 million (around $27 million).
Recent Performance and Training
After being left out of the squad for Chelsea’s triumphant Club World Cup campaign in the U.S., Sterling returned to training at the Cobham facility last week. His previous season was spent on loan at Arsenal, where he struggled to make an impact, tallying only 17 appearances in the Premier League with two assists and failing to find the net.
Manager’s Decisions and Future Commitment
Enzo Maresca, the Chelsea manager, had previously placed Sterling in a so-called “bomb squad,” indicating that he was not part of the first team’s plans before Sterling’s last-minute loan to Arsenal.
While most of Chelsea’s players are currently enjoying time off following their recent success, Sterling is committed to preparing for the upcoming season. At this time, no official negotiations have been initiated regarding his transfer, but both Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen are being viewed as key contenders for securing his services.
