Atlético Madrid player set to sign six-year deal at Stamford Bridge, with club hoping to move Sterling on during window
Chelsea’s new head coach had already given Sterling an indication of his diminished status by telling the 29-year-old winger during a conversation at the end of last week to consider his options before the transfer window shuts. Maresca will need to find space in his crowded attack for Félix. The former Benfica star is a creative talent who operates in similar areas to Christopher Nkunku and Cole Palmer.
Sterling does not expect to be involved when Chelsea, who are supportive of the selection call that dominated Maresca’s first game in charge, host Servette in the first leg of their Europa Conference League playoff on Thursday. Sterling, signed for £47.5m two years ago, is not in a rush to leave Chelsea and has been caught off guard by the situation. He was involved in pre-season and was described recently by Maresca as an important player. Eyebrows were raised at Sterling appearing on Monday in a promotional image for Chelsea’s new sleeve sponsor.
