On January 1, the January transfer market opens in the Premier League and the Chelsea follows the center of the Rennes Jeremy Jacquet20 years old, and the forward of the Saint-Étienne Djylian N’Guessan17. But, first of all, the priority of the Stamford Bridge club is the departures.
Thus, according to The Athletic, Chelsea now wants to get rid of the English wingers Raheem Sterling (31 years old) and Tyrique George (19), as well as the French defender Axel Disasi (27).
Sterling cost Chelsea €56.2 million in July 2022, when they signed him from Manchester City (who in turn acquired his services in the summer of 2015, from Liverpool). He was the first big addition of the ‘Todd Boehly era’ as Chelsea owner. He is the highest paid player on the London squad (373,000 euros per week) and has a contract until 2027.

But the performance of the English international in the ‘blue’ team was always irregular, failing to meet the expectations with which he arrived at Chelsea at the time. A possible exit for Sterling would be a club in Saudi Arabia.
Sterling has not played a game in 2025-26. He was sidelined when no destination was found for him last summer, after he played on loan for Arsenal in 2024-25.
