Raheem Sterling has ended his time at Chelsea after agreeing to terminate his contract early, leaving Stamford Bridge with 18 months still left on his £325,000 a week deal.

 The 31-year-old departs after three and a half seasons, having made 81 appearances since his £47.5m move from Manchester City in 2022, though he hasn’t featured in a competitive match for the Blues since May 2024.

Sterling spent recent months training separately at Chelsea’s Cobham base after a summer transfer failed to materialise, despite interest from clubs like Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen. The England international, who began his career at Liverpool and has lifted 13 trophies in total, is eager to stay in London but remains open to offers both at home and abroad.
