Chelsea are reportedly hoping to sell experienced forward Raheem Sterling this summer and have placed an asking price of around £20 million on the England international.
The club is looking to recoup some of the £47.5 million fee they paid to sign him from Manchester City three years ago. This valuation indicates that Chelsea are prepared to take a significant financial loss to move the player on as part of their ongoing squad overhaul.
Sterling’s time at Stamford Bridge has been a mixed success, and this decision suggests he is no longer considered a key part of the club’s long-term project. By making him available at a reduced price, Chelsea aim to attract bidders and remove his substantial wages from their books.
With a clear price tag now set, Sterling becomes one of the most high-profile players on the market, with the focus now shifting to which club will make a move for the veteran winger.
