"Raheem Sterling, who is surplus to requirements at Chelsea and hasn't played even a single minute of first-team football, is expected to be on the move in the upcoming transfer window. According to a report from FlashScore, Crystal Palace are keen on acquiring his services, as they look to bolster their attack mid-season. The Eagles prefer signing younger players, but they could look at Sterling as more of a short-term fix."
"After making a name for himself at Manchester City, Sterling joined Chelsea in the summer of 2022 in a deal worth 50 million. While he has 19 goals and 15 assists in his 81 outings for the London club, the move hasn't really gone according to plan. The 31-year-old spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Arsenal as he wasn't a part of Enzo Maresca's plans."
"He earns almost 344,000 a week and wants stability for his family before choosing his next club. More importantly, he prefers staying in London, and Crystal Palace could end up offering him that opportunity. While the Eagles can't afford to match those wages, they can offer him a prominent role and the opportunity to continue in London. However, it will be interesting to see if it is good enough to convince Sterling."
