Raheem Sterling close to joining the fifth different club at Premierliga

The 30-year-old, who last summer rejected one of the largest contracts ever offered, worth 650 thousand pounds a week, spent the 2024/25 season borrowed from Arsenal.

In all, he held 28 presentations in all competitions under the direction of Mike Artetta, scoring a goal and providing five assistings, but “The Topchits” decided not to make the transfer permanent.

Sterling has returned to Chelsea, but the club seems to have made it clear that it wants to sell this summer. Currently, he is being trained separate from the rest of Enzo Maresca's first squad, while some clubs are considering the possibility of making bids for the former Liverpool and Manchester City striker.

By Talk SPORT, Crystal Palace is interested, and even the giants of Serie A, Juventus, are following the situation. However, it seems Fulham of Marco Silva is the favourite to transfer. According to FourFourTwo, Sterling is in talks with Fulham for a switch to “Cverten Cotage” before Premier League's opening match against Brighton, reports Express, broadcast Periscope.

A week before his loan to Arsenal, Coach Maresca had given a clear assessment of Sterling's future:

I'm not saying Raheem is not a good player, but I prefer other types of sides. That's why,” he had declared, as Sterling was not included in the Premier League opening match against Manchester City.

I talked to Raheem, just him and me, the day before the game with City and explained the situation exactly. I haven't seen Raheem after the fight. Right now, he and Ben Chillwell are training separately. Their situation is quite clear. There is no new update for them.”

Maresca added: "In case I sit with Raheem, I will say exactly the same things I have already told him. I don't have anything new to tell 'em 'cause I was pretty clear. ”/Periscope
