Raheem Sterling
January 2026
Chelsea confirmed Sterling has left the club by mutual agreement and will look for a new club in January after not featuring this season. He fell out of favour, was placed in the “bomb squad” under Maresca, then loaned to Arsenal in 2024-25 with little impact and returned in summer before an exit was agreed; Rosenior avoided detailing his situation publicly.
Axel Disasi
January 2026
Rosenior brought Disasi back into first-team training after a year out, driven by need and a reset approach, while Adarabioyo is out for weeks and Sterling remains outside the main group. Rosenior said he met Disasi to clear the air and offered a clean slate, but noted he is behind on match fitness. The move follows Adarabioyo’s hamstring issue and ongoing attempts to find a permanent exit for Sterling before the window shuts.

Rosenior says he will speak to Sterling and Disasi after their exclusion from first-team training this season under Maresca. Both are training separately from the main squad; Sterling has not played this season and Disasi has not played in the league since January 20, 2025. Napoli are linked with Sterling; Roma and Lyon have asked about Disasi. Chelsea cannot approve another overseas loan unless they cancel an existing foreign loan because they already have six players out abroad.

Raheem Sterling is open to moves beyond London as he looks to leave Chelsea after being left out of domestic and Champions League squads and training away from the first team. West Ham and Fulham remain linked, but staying in the capital is not being treated as a hard requirement. After an underwhelming Arsenal loan and no summer exit, Sterling has been sidelined with other outcasts. Reports now suggest interest is increasing and he will consider any deal that fits his personal and family conditions, not only London options.

West Ham are exploring a loan move for Raheem Sterling to help climb away from relegation trouble, but reports suggest Sterling would prefer a permanent exit or a loan that includes an obligation to buy. West Ham’s league position is a major factor in whether Sterling accepts, with some reports indicating he is more inclined toward Fulham. Chelsea are open to facilitating an exit, but the structure and destination remain the key hurdles.

Fulham remain interested in signing Raheem Sterling, who has not played this season and is training away from Chelsea’s first team. Chelsea are reportedly willing to subsidise a large share of his wages to facilitate a January exit. Fulham have tracked Sterling previously but are said to be focusing first on returning with an improved offer for PSV striker Ricardo Pepi after an opening bid was rejected. Sterling remains an option if the financial structure is workable.

Dean Saunders has floated the idea of Raheem Sterling dropping from Chelsea’s bomb squad to join Wrexham, arguing that the winger is still a top player and that the Hollywood backed Championship club could appeal to big names drawn in by the documentary. Speaking to BoyleSports, the ex Wales striker said Sterling’s Chelsea exile is baffling, suggested stars might fancy Wrexham after watching the series, but warned that the Championship is relentless and physical, with constant fixtures that Premier League veterans can struggle to handle.

Bayern Munich attempted a late summer swoop for Raheem Sterling, but the Chelsea forward rejected the chance, citing family priorities in London. The rejection left him stuck in Enzo Maresca’s “bomb squad,” training away from the first team until January. Sterling, earning a place among Chelsea’s unwanted, prioritized stability for his family over silverware abroad. Bayern’s approach highlighted Kompany’s desire to reunite with his ex-Manchester City teammate, but Sterling’s refusal leaves him sidelined with limited prospects until the winter transfer window.
