Chelsea news: Big-time attacker is open to getting Premier League move done
CHELSEA forward Raheem Sterling is open to a move to Manchester United this summer, according to The Guardian as the Blues look to offload the winger before the close of the transfer window.
Italy’s Juventus and Turkey’s Fenerbahce have been linked with Sterling though it seems unlikely either would be able to pay his £300,000-a-week salary which currently makes him the clubs highest earner.
Aston Villa have reportedly been in talks with the Blues about a potential deal for the former Liverpool and Man City star but Sterling has been told he has no chance of moving to another Premier League club after Enzo Maresca said he had no future at Chelsea.
The 29-year-old has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge and is set to hold talks with the hierarchy over his contractual situation before pressing ahead with a move away.
United are among the teams interested in signing the England international, with a swap deal involving Jadon Sancho mooted, and he is now reportedly open to the idea of a move to the Manchester giants.
Amid all the speculation and rumours – former Blues star Emmanuel Petit has opened up and encouraged the likes of Sterling to leave the club if he has the opportunity too: “If you’re Sterling or any CHELSEA player and have the chance to leave the club, I would take it. Honestly, I don’t see how Enzo Maresca can rescue this, he’s not a magician,” he told Safest Casino Sites.
“You could put Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp in charge of the team and it will still take months to find a first XI and make everyone happy in the squad. They’re all young players signing huge contracts for eight to nine years
