Deal in the works: Chelsea move may be sealed in the closing days of the transfer window

Raheem Sterling has fallen out of favour at Chelsea and is expected to depart the club this month.

The winger is no longer part of the club’s first-team plans. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea are in discussions with Sterling’s representatives over a potential transfer, with a deal possibly being completed before Monday’s deadline. Securing a move could allow him to get his career back on track with regular playing time.

Sitting on the bench at Chelsea is unlikely to appeal to Sterling, who will be eager to showcase his talent at the highest level once again. He was previously one of the Premier League’s standout players during his spells at Liverpool and Manchester City, but his form has declined since leaving City. A move to the right club could help him regain his best form.

Sterling is a versatile attacker who can operate in multiple roles and brings valuable winning experience. He could be a key asset for the right team.

According to Sky Sports, Sterling is currently training separately from Chelsea’s first-team squad. He still has 18 months remaining on a contract worth over £300,000 per week. The player is not interested in a loan move and is determined to secure a permanent transfer.
