Sterling failed to find her next home before the transfer deadline. According to the Times, the players will continue to stay at Chelsea and train separately from the first team before the winter window opens next January.
Although both Fulham and Crystal Palace expressed interest in Sterling this summer, the players did not receive any offer on the transfer deadline and Chelsea failed to find a suitable solution.
It is understood that Sterling is unlikely to go to Saudi Arabia or other overseas leagues, as he prefers to stay in the UK to accompany his young family, and he is expected to wait for new opportunities in January. The transfer window for the Saudi league will be closed on September 10, while the transfer window for Türkiye and Greece will be closed on September 12. However, European clubs need to register a roster for the European team before 11 p.m. on Tuesday. Unless things change, Sterling may spend the next four months in the stands.
Sterling is 30 years old and is the highest-priced player in Chelsea, with a weekly salary of more than £300,000. Currently, the salary base of Chelsea players has dropped sharply to about 70,000 pounds per week, but players can increase their income based on their performance. The team received a prize of 11.4 million pounds after winning the Club World Cup in July, and most players also received an additional 20% salary increase for qualifying for the Champions League.
Previously, it was generally predicted that after Sterling returned from loan from Arsenal, Chelsea would try to sell him again this summer. But Sterling is eager to play for the England national team again, and he has made 82 appearances for England.
Recently, Sterling has been training with Chilville, but the latter agreed to transfer to Strasbourg before the transfer window closed. Chilville was abandoned by Maresca last season, and the player trained alone at Cobham base and then loaned Crystal Palace in January, and Sterling may face the same fate.
