BBC reported that Fulham intends to sign Sterling and Hall from Chelsea.
30-year-old Sterling has no future at Stamford Bridge. He is one of more than a dozen players who have left the first team training. Chelsea still tends to sell Sterling and price the winger £20 million. However, his contract with a weekly salary of £300,000 will expire two years, which makes any deal that will leave him more complicated.
Arsenal agreed to share his salary when he loaned him last season, but for Fulham's relatively limited salary budget, it was a bit difficult for them to bear 50% of the salary. Fulham also needs to compete with clubs such as Leverkusen, while Juventus and Naples are also considered interested in Sterling.
However, Fulham may be attractive to Sterling because he can continue to live in his London home, whose son Thiago has recently joined the Arsenal Academic Academy.
So far, Fulham is the only club in the Premier League that has not completed any signings, but they are not anxious about this situation. Fulham hopes to retain the existing lineup under coach Marco Silva and has contacted Arsenal to re-sign Nelson, who had previously loaned.
Meanwhile, Hall is still regarded as a rotation player at Chelsea, and there is no sign of his rush to transfer at this stage. Other reports pointed out that if the conditions are right, West Ham United is also interested in signing the midfield all-rounder.
For Chelsea, they have made some progress in player sales this summer, with Maduek, Petrovic and Kepa all leaving the team, with a total transaction price of £82 million. Goalkeeper Penders and defender Mamadu Saar are currently expected to join the partner club Strasbourg on loan. As in Sterling, Chelsea tends to sell players who were loaned last season and not reused by coach Maresca. Felix is attracting the interest of Saudi team and his old club Benfica, who is the next popular company, and the Portuguese super giants are expected to make an offer soon.
