Sterling's departure from Chelsea confirmed

Raheem Sterling will no longer be a Chelsea player after his contract was terminated by mutual agreement.

This was announced on Wednesday by the London “Blues”.

The 31-year-old winger was one of the club’s highest earners, but had not been favoured by Chelsea’s coaches since the summer of 2024.

Sterling had 18 months left on his contract, while earning £325,000 a week.

Sterling did not show his best form after joining the club from Manchester City in 2022.

During this period, he was also loaned to Arsenal.

Sterling is a product of Liverpool’s Academy, while he enjoyed great success at “Euro 2020” with England, who reached the final.

He scored three goals at the European Championship.

However, Sterling has not played for England since the 2022 World Cup.

“We thank Raheem for his contribution as a Chelsea player and wish him all the best in his career,” Chelsea wrote, among other things, on Wednesday.

Sterling made a total of 81 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 19 goals and providing 15 assists.
