Chelsea Seeks £20m for Out-of-Favour Raheem Sterling Transfer

Raheem Sterling's future at Chelsea appears uncertain as the club looks to sell the 30-year-old winger this summer for around £20 million. After an underwhelming loan spell at Arsenal last season, where he scored just one goal in 28 appearances, Sterling has struggled to secure a place in Chelsea's squad under manager Enzo Maresca. Fulham have shown interest in signing Sterling as they seek experienced wide players, while Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus are also reportedly monitoring the England international's situation. Chelsea could use the funds from Sterling's sale to help finance a significant transfer for RB Leipzig's Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons, whose asking price exceeds £60 million. Sterling, who joined Chelsea in 2022 from Manchester City for £47.5 million, has scored 19 goals in 81 appearances for the Blues but has not been called up for England since the 2022 World Cup. With two years remaining on his contract, a move abroad could offer Sterling a chance to revive his career while providing Chelsea with crucial transfer funds.
