"Raheem Sterling has not played this season and the 31-year-old could yet leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer this month - if his contract is mutually terminated. This would, according to the BBC, see Chelsea expected to pay the remaining 22 million owed, per the terms of Sterling's contract. Various reports claim the former England man, who is contracted until summer 2027, earns 325,000-per-week."
"As a result, if Chelsea wish to get Sterling off the wage bill, they could be required to pay up in full the remaining value of his contract. "No, at the moment, I've said what I've had to say on Raheem," Rosenior said in a recent press conference. "He's a player I have massive respect for. Huge respect for him as a person and for what he's achieved in the game. "Now is not the right time to speak about his situation.""
Chelsea's large squad has been a problem for several coaches since Todd Boehly's 2022 takeover, and Liam Rosenior has begun trimming that group. Raheem Sterling, Chelsea's highest-paid player, has not featured this season and could depart Stamford Bridge this month if his contract is mutually terminated. Reports indicate Chelsea would be expected to cover the remaining £22 million owed under his deal, with Sterling earning around £325,000 per week and contracted until summer 2027. A return to the first team appears unlikely, and any exit would likely involve financial compensation.
