Raheem Sterling has officially left Chelsea after agreeing to terminate his contract early, ending a nightmare spell at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues confirmed on Wednesday that they had reached a “mutual agreement” with Sterling for the cancellation of a deal that still had 18 months left to run.
The former England winger, 31, is now able to join another club as a free agent and does not have to secure a move before next Monday’s (February 2) transfer deadline.
“Raheem Sterling has today departed Chelsea Football Club by mutual agreement, bringing to an end three-and-a-half seasons as our player, having signed in the summer of 2022 when he was transferred from Manchester City,” Chelsea said in a statement.
“We thank Raheem for the contribution he made while a Chelsea player and wish him well for the next stage in his career.”
Sterling reacted to his departure from Chelsea with a short post on Instagram, which read: “All eyes on the future. God is great.”
