The Saudi Pro League sides preparing offers of over £100 million to sign Chelsea’s best player in a stunning move this summer
According to football.london, Raheem Sterling is still loyal to Chelsea, even though there are rumours that he could move to Saudi Arabia during the summer transfer window.
The Saudi Pro League was said to be very interested in the 29-year-old last summer, but he turned down the chance to move to the Middle East after a disappointing first season at Chelsea. Sterling still scored nine goals during the 2022–23 season, which tied him with Kai Havertz for Chelsea’s top scorer in all categories.
Sterling has played 2,668 minutes for the Blues so far this season and has scored eight goals and set up six others. The winger used to play for Manchester City and Liverpool, and there are still many Chelsea fans who don’t like him.
As the summer transfer window for 2024 draws near, Saudi Arabia is said to be interested again. However, Sterling has no plans to leave Chelsea at this time, according to football.london. The England player, who was born in Jamaica and has 82 games for the Three Lions, is still committed to the Blues’ long-term plan and is under contract with the club until 2027.
Sterling has scored more goals for Chelsea this season than anyone else except Cole Palmer (12) and Nicolas Jackson (11). Despite this, Chelsea fans have booed the player several times when he comes off the pitch, which Mauricio Pochettino doesn’t understand.
Last Friday, Pochettino told the press, “Someone told me that Sterling was booed against Leeds United, but I didn’t hear it.” “That doesn’t make sense to me; I’ve only been here nine months.”
