Raheem Sterling seems to be more and more likely to leave Chelsea this summer – but a confusing price could prevent clubs from making a permanent movement.
Sterling signed for Chelsea de Manchester City in 2022 for 47.5 million pounds sterling, but fell into disgrace to Stamford Bridge and spent last season in Arsenal. The 30 -year -old only made 28 appearances for the Gunners, and scored only once before returning to his parent club.
With Chelsea, continuing to invest large sums in attackers, the first team chances of Sterling under Enzo Maresca are thin for the coming season and he would have been placed on the transfer list with two years to play on his contract. The other players allowed to leave include Ben Chilwell, Joao Felix and Axel Disasi, the four players who train separately in Cobham from the senior team.
A Chelsea Xi faces Bromley this afternoon, but Sterling should not be involved while the club seeks to move it and release its salary by £ 325,000 per week. According to the SunRepay the last two years of the Sterling contract would cost 30 million pounds Sterling in Chelsea, so they are looking for a transfer that will save these expenses and recover some of the costs they paid to sign the former international in the city’s England.
And the report even suggests that Chelsea wants up to 20 million pounds sterling for the winger – even if there is an acceptance that obtaining these costs will be difficult. It is added that only a club in Saudi Arabia can be ready to pay near Sterling salary and that it should have a drop in salary wherever it has moved.
Fans on social networks reacted with a shock, with a saying: “No one pays 20 million pounds sterling, even on this market.” Another said: “The only clubs wishing to pay that would be in MLS or Saudi Arabia or Qatar.” A number of fans have suggested that the best sterling bet would be to move to Saudi Pro League, while a fan said that it was only 10 million pounds sterling after his difficulties in Arsenal.
“No one pays 20 million pounds sterling after this year, he had in Arsenal,” said another fan, and another noted that sterling wages could push the clubs.
