The 30-year-old Sterling is a veteran "British Star", but his development has not met expectations in recent seasons. Since leaving Manchester City to join Chelsea, Sterling has also performed well, but after loaning Arsenal, Sterling's value has been falling. This top Premier League winger, who once had a net worth of 160 million euros at his peak, is now worth only 10 million euros. There is no Sterling in Chelsea's lineup, but it is not easy to find his next home.

According to the well-known football reporter Jacobs, Chelsea is willing to sell Sterling for a transfer fee of £20 million. Juventus and Leverkusen are all paying attention to Sterling's future, but most people believe that the price of £20 million is too high, and this transfer fee is difficult to reach an agreement. Sterling's performance during his loan period last season was very average. He had both the league and the Champions League. He played 17 games in the league and gave away 0 goals and 2 assists. This data is difficult for Chelsea to obtain a transfer fee of 20 million pounds.

Sterling was one of the best offensive players in the Premier League, but it is difficult for Sterling to do this today. As he grows older, his threat on the wing has also declined significantly. Coupled with his always questioned finishing ability, Sterling's popularity in the transfer market is very average. Moreover, it is very difficult for Sterling to stay at Chelsea. He is completely incompatible with the club's long-term development plan. The high salary and high age make it difficult for him to gain the trust of the management. It is only a matter of time before he leaves the team.

Chelsea's current operating style is mainly young players, and they will not offer high salaries for players. Apart from Sterling, the highest salary in the team is only 250,000 pounds a weekly salary. However, Sterling's weekly salary at Chelsea reached 325,000 pounds, which is the maximum salary of most wealthy clubs. Chelsea is unwilling to bear this part of the salary, and joining a new team will be difficult to reach an agreement due to salary reasons. If the deal cannot be completed before the start of the season, there is a high possibility that Sterling will be on loan.

Last summer window, the Saudi League offered Sterling a high salary, but the players chose to refuse and insisted on staying in the Premier League to prove their abilities. Unfortunately, his performance during his time at Arsenal was relatively average, which also made him lose the opportunity to have a high salary from Saudi Arabia. Now Sterling still has the possibility of joining Saudi Arabia, but it is difficult to get the standard high salary from last year. His super high annual salary and his gradual decline made it difficult for him to find a suitable next home. The former British Emperor Star fell to such a level and made many fans sigh.
