Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling could be on the move before the transfer window closes, with Fulham, Crystal Palace, and West Ham emerging as realistic destinations for the England international.
Sterling, 30, has accepted he’s not part of new manager Enzo Maresca’s plans at Stamford Bridge, despite being under contract until 2027 and earning £325,000 per week. After a difficult loan spell at Arsenal last season, where he failed to score in the league, Sterling is eager to revive his career—but only in London.
Sources close to the player say Sterling has turned down interest from abroad and is prioritizing clubs that allow him to stay close to his family. Palace have reportedly made contact, while Fulham and West Ham are monitoring the situation closely.
Any deal will hinge on how much Chelsea are willing to subsidize Sterling’s wages, which remain a major hurdle. With less than two weeks left in the window, all three clubs are weighing late moves as Sterling waits for clarity.
Sterling remains hopeful of earning a place in England’s World Cup squad next summer and sees regular minutes as essential to that goal.
