Sterling’s exclusion comes amid rumours of a potential swap deal with Juventus, involving Italian winger Federico Chiesa.
However, the deal reportedly stalled due to discrepancies in player valuations and Raheem Sterling’s high wages.
With limited options on the table, including a possible move to Saudi Arabia, Raheem Sterling is left in a state of uncertainty. The coming days will show whether Sterling will leave Chelsea or stay.
