Raheem Sterling is allegedly picky about which team he wants to join with, and Chelsea has set their asking price. Chelsea has already had a busy summer after winning the Club World Cup and spending more than £210 million on seven new players.
The Blues are having a hard time getting rid of their many undesirable stars, despite their success in acquiring players. Even though they were able to approve transfers for Djordje Petrovic, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Noni Madueke, a new “bomb squad” has formed at Stamford Bridge.
Joao Felix, Christopher Nkunku, Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Axel Disasi, and Ben Chilwell are some of the people for sale. The most well-known member of the bomb squad is Sterling, who was informed by Enzo Maresca that he was no longer wanted at Chelsea on the eve of the previous season.
Chelsea want £20 million to sell Raheem Sterling this summer
Raheem Sterling is in a difficult situation because he has no future at Chelsea. The seasoned attacker’s £325,000 weekly salary is something the Blues are eager to cut their losses on. The player hardly has any suitors in England, though, as his market has drastically dried up.
The Englishman wants to join another Premier League team, ideally in London, according to Sebastien Vidal. Sterling also has no interest in joining an MLS or Saudi Pro League team. His market has been further diminished, though, and his £325,000 weekly salary is a roadblock.
In the meanwhile, Chelsea will ask for about £20 million to let Sterling go during the summer transfer window. Playing for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might bring out the best in the 30-year-old English international, who has been linked to Besiktas in recent reports.
Even though no contacts have been made yet, the Sun’s source also names Brentford, Fulham, and West Ham as potential teams to keep an eye on.
