Chelsea has made the decision to offload Raheem Sterling, as reported by GIVEMESPORT. The club aims to sell players before making any new signings to avoid penalties from the Premier League.
Raheem Sterling, who arrived at Chelsea from Manchester City for a hefty £45 million fee, has failed to live up to expectations this season. Despite his talent, the English forward has squandered numerous scoring opportunities, contributing to Chelsea’s mediocre position in the Premier League standings.
Criticism of Sterling peaked during Chelsea’s recent FA Cup quarter-final against Leicester, where he was accused of selfishly vying for penalty and free-kick duties, creating tension among fans at Stamford Bridge.
According to GIVEMESPORT, Chelsea has listed Raheem Sterling for sale in the upcoming summer transfer window of 2024. Billionaire owner Todd Boehly and manager Mauricio Pochettino are reportedly eager to offload the former Manchester City star at the end of the current season.
While Mykhaylo Mudryk has also faced challenges since joining Chelsea, the club sees promise in the young Ukrainian talent and plans to retain him, offering him more opportunities to prove himself.
Chelsea’s decision to sell Sterling is motivated by their need to balance finances after heavy spending under new ownership. By offloading players, they hope to avoid financial penalties from the Premier League authorities.
Sterling, on the other hand, is determined to continue his career in the Premier League and has reportedly turned down offers from leagues such as the Saudi Pro League and MLS.
