Sterling accused of corruption

Financial barriers make Raheem Sterling determined to stay at Chelsea despite being treated unfairly in recent times.

Raheem Sterling's story is a lesson in the harshness of top-flight football.

According to Football London , both Sterling and Chelsea have their own arguments. Sterling believes he did nothing wrong in not finding a suitable destination for his personal circumstances. Meanwhile, Chelsea believe they are not the "bad guys", because Sterling has turned down several opportunities to join some big clubs this summer.

Many members of the Chelsea board even think that Sterling is greedy. Money is the main factor that prevents Sterling and Chelsea from terminating the contract. The Times reported that Sterling is asking for compensation of up to 20 million pounds to terminate the contract with Chelsea early.

Sterling's contract runs until 2027, with a total salary worth around £30m. He is not willing to give up this money, and Chelsea are not willing to pay the full amount to terminate the contract.

Chelsea are only willing to pay Sterling part of his salary to terminate his contract early, which would be in the region of £10-15 million. Another solution, such as Chelsea loaning Sterling out and paying part of his salary, is another possible path.

However, Sterling wanted to stay in London to be closer to his family, which meant turning down opportunities to play abroad. Bayern Munich and several clubs in La Liga and Serie A had proposed to loan Sterling, but the player refused. This made Chelsea's board of directors extremely angry.
