Here is the latest Chelsea transfer news and gossip from around the world, as there are now reports in the media which have claimed that Raheem Sterling is seriously considering terminating his contract at Stamford Bridge.
Sterling has been with CHELSEA for a few seasons now, but he never fulfilled the quality that he showed at Manchester City, and his time at the Bridge has been spent mostly on the bench and shifted out on loan.
And according to Corriere dello Sport, Sterling is now seriously intent on leaving London and is looking to resolve a princely contract that has effectively become a “prison” for his career. At 31, the forward is desperate to return to action, and his profile as a versatile attacker appeals to the Napoli hierarchy.
Sterling was a target for the Serie A club during the summer window, and his name has returned to the background as sporting director Giovanni Manna evaluates low-cost opportunities to bolster the squad. However, any move is contingent on Napoli navigating a complex January window defined by strict financial constraints.
IcFootballnews Says…
CHELSEA shot themselves in the foot when they signed Sterling from City as they gave him a massive contract wage that nobody wanted to meet, and that is why they cannot get him off the books.
It would be a shock to see Sterling terminate that contract as he gets around £400k-a-week, and until a club officially makes a move, he will have to wait it out before getting that permanent move away.
Napoli would be a great option for him to make though that is for sure because a move away from the Premier League could help reignite his career, his time in the Premier League is done and he struggles to make any impact.
