Chelsea kicked and rejected by the Gunners, Raheem Sterling actually prepared to rise in the Champions League

Gilabola.com – After a disappointing loan period at Arsenal, Raheem Sterling is rumored to be a second chance to shine on the Champions League stage with a mysterious club from Europe.

Raheem Sterling is preparing for a new chapter in his career. The Chelsea winger does not seem to be included in the plan of the new Enzo Marsca coach, and is now in demand by one of the Champions League participating clubs next season.

Although it failed to appear impressive during the loan period at Arsenal last season, this apparently did not dampen the club’s interest.

Difficult time sterling at Arsenal

The 30 -year -old player only scored one goal in 28 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal last season. Mikel Arteta brought it in the hope that it could ease the burden of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz in terms of goal productivity.

However, this expectation was not achieved. Sterling was only able to contribute one goal and one assist in the Premier League.

Although the contribution is minimal, Arteta still provides support for Sterling. In February, the Spanish coach stated that the player continued to train hard and ready to help the team whenever needed. “Raheem is very experienced … he is ready to come back to appear,” Arteta said at that time.

Being kicked out of Chelsea, but glimpsed by the Champions League club

According to The Athletic report, an European club that will compete in the Champions League is interested in recruiting Sterling. Although the name of the club has not yet been mentioned, the offer that came was quite serious and could be a way out for Sterling from Chelsea.

The Blues are reportedly ready to release the winger with a tag of £ 20 million, although the contract is still two years left.

Sterling himself had previously felt the Champions League final during Manchester City uniforms in 2021, and twice entered the “Champions League Squad of the Season” in 2019 and 2020.

This move will also be the first experience for Sterling for a career outside England. He previously played in QPR and Liverpool when Junior, before glowing at Manchester City and then migrated to Chelsea.

MARESCA FIRST, DO NOT NEED Sterling

Chelsea’s new coach, Enzo Marsca, openly did not include Sterling in his plans from the start. “I’m not saying Raheem is not a good player, but I prefer a different type of winger,” he said firmly.

In fact, he had told Sterling before the match against Manchester City that the player would have difficulty playing minutes.

“If it is considered cruel, go ahead. But I prefer to be honest,” he added.

Will Sterling rise in Europe?

With his experience and achievement at the highest level of football, Sterling certainly still has the potential to rise. The opportunity to play regularly in the Champions League with the new club can be a moment of redemption for him after two disappointing seasons in London.

Now all eyes are on the next step: Will Sterling really come out of England for the first time and again show its class in the highest competition of Europe?
