Raheem Sterling, 29 years old, is linked with the Saudi Pro League and Barcelona because of his inconsistent performances at Stamford Bridge under manager Mauricio Pochettino. Even though he has played more games than any of his teammates. However, his recent performances are not that good at all as he has only scored one goal in his last 12 Premier League appearances.
Chelsea have realised that Sterling is the one who can fetch the highest value compared to the rest of the squad. One of our sources claims that Sterling would be replaced by either Olise or Williams could be one of the reasons for this transfer.
Manchester United remains quite willing to invest in Olise, as reported by our sources, Arsenal and Tottenham also appear to be targeting Athletic Club’s promising youth, Nico Williams. While Chelsea are said to be in talks with both the players, the reports suggest that the Blues’ primary focus is finding a new striker, though 20-year-old youngster Nicolas Jackson is stealing the limelight in his maiden campaign in the English top tier by scoring 12 goals in all competitions for the Stamford Bridge team.

What is the recent speculation around Sterling at Chelsea?
The Blues are presently considering their options that will help them strengthen their attacking side, especially the exit of the club’s star player, Raheem Sterling who is a highly valued player in Saudi Arabia. It has to be mentioned that Williams, whose contract lasts until 2027, is not the only player under the attention of Chelsea. Not only Williams, who is contracted with Athletic Club, but Chelsea is also scouting Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise who reportedly has a release clause in his contract.
Nevertheless, their primary target is the signing of a striker, who is possibly the best in the world. Victor Osimhen is the chief target and discussions with Napoli about the fee are ongoing. However, Benjamin Sesko is also in the list as a backup to Victor Osimhen.
