Arsenal Offered Raheem Sterling on Loan as Chelsea Looks to Offload Winger

Chelsea Seeking to Offload Sterling’s High Wages Amidst Links with Manchester United

Arsenal has reportedly been given the opportunity to bring in Raheem Sterling on loan from Chelsea, as the Blues seek to reduce their wage bill. Sterling, currently earning £325,000-per-week, has been informed by Chelsea’s manager, Enzo Maresca, that he will not feature in the team if he remains at Stamford Bridge.

The possibility of a move to Arsenal comes amid reports that Chelsea is eager to offload the England international. ESPN suggests that Arsenal is considering the offer, especially given Sterling’s past working relationship with Mikel Arteta during their time together at Manchester City.

In a related development, Manchester United has also been linked to Sterling, with speculation of a swap deal involving Jadon Sancho heading to Chelsea. This potential deal could see Sterling make a switch to Old Trafford, as both Premier League clubs look to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.

Sterling’s future remains uncertain as discussions continue, but Chelsea’s clear intention to move the player could lead to a significant shift in the Premier League landscape. Arsenal and Manchester United remain key contenders in the race to secure the winger’s services.
