- Sterling set to leave 切爾西
- 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 冠軍聯賽 club abroad, according to The Athletic. 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 曼城 in 2022, Sterling has not enjoyed much success in club football, as well as internationally. He has not featured for the England 國家的 team since the 2022 世界盃 and was shipped off on a loan deal to Arsenal last summer, once Enzo Maresca took charge of the Blues. The former 利物浦 star still has two years left on his Chelsea contract, but The Athletic 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 RB萊比錫 before the summer transfer window closes.
The Club World Cup winners will play a couple of pre-season friendly matches against Bayer Leverkusen 和 AC Milan at home next month before kicking off their 2025-26 英超聯賽 campaign against Crystal Palace on August 17.
