Sterling Set for Chelsea Exit as January Window Nears Close
Chelsea expect Raheem Sterling to leave the club by the end of the January transfer window. The 31-year-old winger has not made a competitive appearance for the Blues since May 2024.
Sterling joined Arsenal on loan for the 2024-25 season but failed to make an impact for the Gunners. Chelsea are hoping to get high-earner Sterling off the books, with the winger earning a reported £325,000 a week at the club. He has been training away from the first team squad having been deemed surplus to requirements in west London. Sterling reportedly does not want to leave on loan again, with a permanent exit or an agreement that sees the forward become a free agent on the cards.
