Chelsea 'exiles' Sterling

Raheem Sterling will face a difficult period at Chelsea after being unable to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer 2025 transfer window.

Sterling is likely to be sidelined for half of the 2025/26 season.

According to The Times , Chelsea intend to take strong and decisive action against Sterling in the near future. The English player may have to train separately from the first team until the January 2025 transfer window.

Sources confirm that a move abroad is not feasible as Sterling wishes to stay in England. It is expected that the former Liverpool star will wait for a new opportunity in the winter transfer window and will be forced to sit out while awaiting a decision from "The Blues".

In the summer of 2025, Chelsea underwent a personnel revolution, signing several high-quality new players. Simultaneously, the club also offloaded several players to balance its finances for the new season. Noni Madueke joined Arsenal, Christopher Nkunku moved to AC Milan, and Joao Felix reunited with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr.

However, Sterling was one of the players who failed to find a new club during the recent transfer window. Despite attracting interest from Fulham and Crystal Palace in the final hours of the transfer, the deal did not materialize.

Sterling joined Chelsea from Man City for £47.5 million in 2022. He is reportedly Chelsea's highest-paid player, earning £300,000 per week. The winger spent the previous season on loan at Arsenal. At Emirates, Sterling made 28 appearances and scored just one goal.
