L’pool, City, Chelsea, and now United? Sterling could make history of English football

There’s no longer any doubt – if Jadon Sancho moves to Chelsea, Raheem Sterling will become a new player for Manchester United. The Red Devils’ sporting director, Mike Ashworth, has held discussions with Chelsea representatives, after which negotiations advanced significantly around a major deal in which the two football stars would swap places.At Stamford Bridge, a permanent sale is preferred over a loan, but the latter is currently more realistic. It is expected that Chelsea will cover part of Sterling’s wages, which amount to 325,000 pounds per week. If the deal goes through, Sterling will become the first player in history to have played for Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United.🚨🔴 Manchester United have opened talks to sign Raheem Sterling from Chelsea! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿A deal will only progress in a swap deal for Jadon Sancho on their own terms, reports @TeleFootball. 🔄 pic.twitter.com/0tQDW6ajjG— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) August 27, 2024 Sterling was excluded from the first team about ten days ago, and United hopes to use this fact to their advantage by not paying any fees to bring in the once-promising Liverpool star, making him just one part of a package deal in which Sancho is the central figure. Another unnamed European club was also in the running for Sterling last week, but now United seems by far the most likely option.Sterling was left out of Enzo Maresca’s squad before the first round of the new season, and he was stripped of his shirt number, making it clear to the 30-year-old winger where he stands in Chelsea’s hierarchy. However, everything still largely depends on whether the Sancho deal will be finalized. Jadon Sancho, in a way, shares Raheem’s fate, considering he was also left out of the team at the beginning of the season under Erik ten Hag, with whom he had a falling out last season before being loaned to Dortmund.##NAJAVA_MECA_8298270##
