"Not making a single competitive appearance for Chelsea since way back in May 2024, Raheem Sterling's west London nightmare officially came to an end on Wednesday. Despite still having 18 months remaining on his deal at Stamford Bridge, the former Manchester City ace has left Chelsea after reaching an agreement to end his contract early. Receiving a hefty payout after agreeing to terminate his £325,000-per-week deal, the England international is certainly glad to draw a line under his dreadful three-and-a-half year stay in west London."
"Arriving from Manchester City back in the summer of 2022 for a reported fee of £47.5million, there was plenty of excitement around Stamford Bridge. Lifting 11 pieces of domestic silverware during his dominant spell at the Etihad and tasting Premier League success on five occasions, Sterling was expected to become one of the poster boys in west London. However, despite completing a shock loan switch to Arsenal last season, the 31-year-old failed to register a single Premier League strike"
Raheem Sterling has left Chelsea after agreeing to terminate his contract with 18 months remaining and receiving a substantial payout. He made no competitive appearances for Chelsea since May 2024 and had been training separately. Sterling joined Chelsea in summer 2022 for a reported £47.5m after a decorated Manchester City spell that included 11 domestic trophies and five Premier League titles. A loan to Arsenal yielded no Premier League goals and he returned to Chelsea without impact. Moves to Juventus and Fulham failed to materialise. Former managers Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior declined to reintegrate him, leaving his international prospects diminished.
