Chelsea informed that Juventus have entered the race for Raheem Sterling

Former Manchester City star no longer in Maresca’s plans as London club prepares summer exit

Chelsea have informed interested clubs that winger Raheem Sterling is available for transfer, with the Premier League side reportedly valuing the England international at approximately €10 million, according to talkSPORT.

Sterling, 30, is no longer part of new manager Enzo Maresca’s plans for the upcoming season. The winger is among seven players marked for exit from Stamford Bridge, as the club continues to reshape its squad under the Italian coach.

Juventus Joins Race Alongside Premier League Rivals

Interest in Sterling is growing, with Juventus becoming the latest club to enter the race. The Italian giants will compete with West Ham, Crystal Palace, and Bayer Leverkusen, who are also monitoring the situation. While Sterling is believed to prefer staying in London, his future may depend on whether he can convince Chelsea’s coaching staff to give him another chance.

Despite being on the transfer list, the player is reportedly keen to remain with Chelsea and fight for his place, particularly with the Club World Cup on the horizon. However, competition for attacking roles has intensified with the rise of Pedro Neto, the arrival of Estêvão, and a potential move for Alejandro Garnacho.

From City Star to Market Decline

Sterling joined Chelsea from Manchester City ahead of the 2022–23 season for €56 million. Despite a promising start, his form dipped, and he failed to reach the heights he once showed under Pep Guardiola.

Last season, under Mauricio Pochettino, Sterling was involved in 21 goals and briefly hinted at a return to form. However, a loan spell at Arsenal yielded just one goal and five assists in 28 appearances, and Mikel Arteta opted not to exercise the purchase option.

Sterling has since returned to Chelsea but was unimpressive during preseason under Maresca, both physically and tactically.

Chelsea Hope for Minimal Return

While Chelsea have not officially confirmed a sale price, sources suggest the club will aim to recoup at least part of the €56 million investment made two years ago. Sterling’s current market value has fallen significantly, with estimates now sitting around €10 million.

Unless Sterling can stage an unlikely turnaround in the coming weeks, his departure appears inevitable—either as a cut-price transfer or another loan move.
