Raheem Sterling will be part of Chelsea fire sale as likely next move revealed – sources
Raheem Sterling is unlikely to join another Premier League club if he leaves Chelsea this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The 29-year-old winger is expected to be part of a firesale at Stamford Bridge as the Blues look to raise funds to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules.
As revealed by Football Insider, Chelsea are planning to sell up to four senior stars before the June 30th cut-off date for financial accounts.
Sterling is set to be one of several Chelsea stars headed for the exit this summer, but it is understood that a move to another Premier League club will be very difficult.

The former Liverpool winger is one of the top earners at Stamford Bridge with a reported wage of £325,000 per week.
Other top-flight clubs are not interested in meeting Sterling’s demands, meaning Chelsea may be forced to look elsewhere for potential suitors.
Sterling has three years remaining on his current deal with the Blues.
He has been a regular starter under Mauricio Pochettino with eight goals and nine assists this season across 35 appearances.
However, the Blues are under pressure to raise funds and are also eager to fast-track the development of their younger stars signed under Todd Boehly.
