Reports indicate that Chelsea may be willing to allow Raheem Sterling to leave the club, with Juventus being a potential suitor. According to Caught Offside, the Serie A club believes that the former Liverpool winger could significantly enhance their squad with his experience, particularly for European matches. Although Juventus’s interest in Sterling seems genuine, no formal offer has been made at this point. This follows earlier reports suggesting that both Sterling and Joao Felix could be sold this summer to generate funds for a new striker. Neither player appears to be part of Chelsea’s long-term strategy under manager Enzo Maresca, as they are not seen as crucial for the team’s future. Furthermore, Sterling’s loan season at Arsenal has not been particularly impressive. His tenure at the Emirates has been disappointing, recording only one goal and no assists in 23 matches. Despite his talent, he has been unable to perform at his best under Mikel Arteta, leading Chelsea to consider offloading his hefty £215,000-a-week salary, particularly as a revival at Stamford Bridge seems unlikely. While at Chelsea, Sterling showcased flashes of his skill, amassing 12 goals and 19 assists in 81 games, but he hasn’t returned to his former self. A new environment might be what he needs to regain his top performance.
