According to reports from football.london, Raheem Sterling remains committed to Chelsea despite ongoing rumors linking him with a potential move to Saudi Arabia during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Saudi Pro League expressed keen interest in the 29-year-old forward last summer, but Sterling opted to stay at Chelsea despite a challenging debut season.
Despite his struggles, Sterling managed to contribute significantly to Chelsea’s goal tally, finishing as one of the team’s top scorers alongside Kai Havertz with nine goals during the 2022–23 campaign.
In the current season, Sterling has continued to feature prominently for Chelsea, amassing 2,668 minutes of playing time and contributing eight goals and six assists.
Despite his impressive performances, Sterling has faced criticism from some sections of the Chelsea fanbase, likely stemming from his previous stints at Manchester City and Liverpool.
As the summer transfer window approaches, reports suggest renewed interest from Saudi Arabia, but Sterling remains steadfast in his commitment to Chelsea.
The England international, who is contracted with Chelsea until 2027, is reportedly aligned with the club’s long-term vision.
Sterling’s goal-scoring contributions this season have been noteworthy, placing him among the top scorers at Chelsea behind Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson.
However, his on-field performances have not shielded him from occasional jeers from Chelsea supporters, a phenomenon that manager Mauricio Pochettino finds perplexing.
Addressing the issue in a recent press conference, Pochettino expressed his confusion regarding the fans’ reactions towards Sterling, stating that he was unaware of any booing during the match against Leeds United.
Despite the challenges, Pochettino remains focused on his role at Chelsea, emphasizing his relatively shorttenure at the club.
