- Sterling set to leave Chelsea
- Winger attracting interest from UCL club
- Could move abroad
Sterling is all set to end his stay in English football after attracting interest from a Champions League club abroad, according to الرياضي. The 30-year-old began his pre-season training with Chelsea last week but could now leave his homeland to make a fresh start.
Since leaving مانشستر سيتي in 2022, Sterling has not enjoyed much success in club football, as well as internationally. He has not featured for the إنجلترا وطني team since the 2022 كأس العالم and was shipped off on a loan deal to أرسنال last summer, once Enzo Maresca took charge of the Blues. The former ليفربول star still has two years left on his Chelsea contract, but الرياضي claims that they will accept an offer of just £20 million ($27m) for the winger.
Chelsea will also look to offload a few more of their out-of-favour stars as they are keen on signing Xavi Simons from آر بي لايبزيغ before the summer transfer window closes.
The Club World Cup winners will play a couple of pre-season friendly matches against باير ليفركوزن and AC Milan at home next month before kicking off their 2025-26 الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز حملة ضد كريستال بالاس في 17 أغسطس.
