Sterling wore an Arsenal jersey this summer. Sterling left the team as if he had been kicked out of Chelsea. Sterling, who was left out of the list for the opener, issued an explanation. Sterling said "We expected Sterling to be included in the official pre-match materials released by the club and play in this match"We have always had positive conversations with the club, and we have confidence in Sterling's future. So I'll wait for a clear answer from Chelsea," he stressed.
Chelsea's new head coach, Enzo Maresca, has notified Sterling 'Out of Power'. Sterling was in training at the U-21s (under-21s) if he failed to move in the summer market. However, Chelsea had to pay 325,000 pounds (about 572.45 million won) per week. The contract period is also three more years away.
Sterling was recognized as the best 'crack' in the league, with more than 30 goals in the 2019-2020 season when he was in Manchester City. Since moving to Chelsea for a transfer fee of 50 million pounds (about 88 billion won) in July 2022, he has been evaluated as a 'normal winger'.
Sterling played 81 games in two seasons for Chelsea, scoring just 19 goals. Sterling set up a way out on loan at Arsenal.
