"Sterling was a bit different. There were options there for him, Fulham, West Ham, Palace, because he only really wants to stay in London. But it didn't quite work out. Fulham, for example, had other options; they almost took Tyrique George from Chelsea. So I think Sterling will move in the January window. I think he'll realise that. There's not much else he can do."
"I think he [Disasi] maybe sees a situation like Chalobah or Hudson-Odoi, where he was bombed out but then came back into the mix at one point. So I think Disasi is probably just hoping injuries might push him back in, but we're not seeing any sign of that at the moment. When you've got a bomb squad, that's just football now. Look at [Manchester] United. They're not the only team dealing with this sort of thing."
Chelsea could sell Raheem Sterling in the January transfer window after he failed to leave in the summer of 2025. The club aims to remove his wages from the books. Sterling prefers to remain in London and attracted interest from Fulham, West Ham and Crystal Palace, but those moves did not materialize. Fulham considered other targets such as Tyrique George. Observers expect Sterling to move in January given limited options and his reluctance to relocate outside London. Disasi may hope injuries reopen his chances, but there are no signs of that and multiple players remain surplus to requirements.
