bloomshorts Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling Up for Grabs at £20m: London Move or Saudi Adventure?
Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling is reportedly up for sale for just £20m this summer, with a move to another London club touted as a possibility. The 30-year-old is back at Stamford Bridge after a difficult season on loan at Arsenal last season, and it remains to be seen where he’ll be playing next.
Potential Destinations for Sterling
According to the Sun, Chelsea could now let Sterling go for as little as £20m, though it’s not yet clear if anyone is likely to pay that fee. Saudi clubs might be realistic options for Sterling in terms of meeting that asking price, but it’s also suggested that the player might prefer to stay in London. Sterling was supposedly wanted by Crystal Palace last year, before he ended up at the Emirates Stadium on loan, so they could be one to watch again. Meanwhile, the Sun’s report also mentions West Ham, Fulham and Brentford as possible teams to watch, even if there haven’t been any contacts yet.
Chelsea’s Summer Clearout
Chelsea will surely be shifting a number of players this summer, with Sterling up there with some big names who are no longer in Enzo Maresca’s plans. The Evening Standard have previously also cast doubts about the likes of Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix and Ben Chilwell. There might also be some slightly more worrying developments as Bayern Munich have an interest in Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto, according to Christian Falk in his latest column for CF Bayern Insider. The talented young Frenchman might well be behind Reece James in the pecking order, but that doesn’t mean CFC will be that keen on letting him go as they’ll surely need the squad depth in that position.
