Raheem Sterling
30-Year-Old
Chelsea
Premier
Staying at Chelsea without role
Sterling will remain at Chelsea and collect a paycheck after not moving elsewhere in the summer transfer window.
ANALYSIS
Sterling doesn't have a role under Enzo Maresca, but he's still getting paid, which is how the first half of the season will play out. In limited time at Arsenal last season, Sterling was noticeably not at the peak of his game and it's likely any other moves at this point in his career will be to smaller destinations. At Chelsea, it's unlikely he'll find pitch time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Still not option for Maresca
Manager Enzo Maresca revealed that there's no chance that Sterling will return to Chelsea's plans during the 2025/26 season, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Sterling was unable to secure a move away from Chelsea in the summer, but Maresca won't allow him to return to the squad, meaning he won't see any competitive action until January 2026 at the earliest. Both Sterling and Axel Disasi are training at different times and on different pitches to the rest of the squad at Cobham, so Maresca isn't even seeing them during training.
