Raheem Sterling (Chelsea)
September 2025
Raheem Sterling rejected lucrative Saudi, Turkish, and MLS offers, insisting he’ll stay in London and wait until January, despite being exiled from Chelsea’s main squad. Sterling, unwilling to uproot his family, continues training at Cobham with the “bomb squad” of unwanted players. With no deal materialised, he faces four months in limbo under Enzo Maresca.
