"The England international has two years left on his contract at Chelsea, but his future at the club is unclear after Enzo Maresca confirmed that the forward is not part of his plans this season. Sterling last featured for the Blues in May 2024, spending last season on loan at Arsenal. But the 30-year-old failed to make a case for his permanent move to the Emirates at the end of the last campaign, after scoring just once and registering a further five assists."
"But as per Telegraph Sport, there was greater interest from clubs abroad, including a deadline day inquiry from Chelsea's first Champions League opponents Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga giants were in the thick of discussions over Jackson - who did eventually book a loan move to the Allianz after an 11th-hour delay following injury to Chelsea's summer signing Liam Delap - and are believed to have also considered bringing in Sterling."
Raheem Sterling has two years remaining on his Chelsea contract but is not included in Enzo Maresca's plans for the season. Sterling last played for Chelsea in May 2024 after a season-long loan at Arsenal where he scored once and provided five assists. He returned to Chelsea and was placed in the club's 'bomb squad' of outcasts and did not secure a permanent transfer. Interest arrived from abroad, including a deadline-day inquiry from Bayern Munich and reported interest from Napoli. Sterling's £325,000-per-week wages and his preference to remain in England limited potential suitors.
