"Sterling had left 18 months left on the contract he signed when joining the Chelsea from Manchester City in 2022 -- but he is now a free agent. Sources have told ESPN that several clubs had enquired about a loan move but Sterling had stated a preference for a permanent deal to give him and his children stability as he attempts to revive his career."
"According to Sky Sports, "all options are on the table" for the 31-year-old, and the fact he can sign for clubs even after the transfer window has closed opens up a host of possibilities for him. On Wednesday, Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has said Sterling's "significant financial expectations" could be an obstacle in doing a deal for the forward."
Raheem Sterling is a free agent after mutually terminating his Chelsea contract with 18 months remaining. He joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2022. Sterling is willing to play anywhere and has expressed a preference for a permanent move to provide stability for himself and his children. Several clubs enquired about a loan, but he preferred a long-term deal. The ability to sign outside the transfer window expands his options. Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna warned that Sterling's significant financial expectations could hinder a deal. Bayern Munich reportedly pursued Sterling before the summer window and could view him as affordable depth for the remainder of the season.
