British media: Sterling is unwilling to play football abroad, so he decided to stay in Chelsea s winter window before leaving the team

According to the British media "Standard Evening News", Sterling failed to join any London club as he wished before the transfer window closed this summer. He plans to leave Chelsea when the winter window opens in January.

The report pointed out that Sterling has ruled out the possibility of playing abroad. He is unwilling to go to Saudi Arabia, Türkiye or the United States. He finally decided to stay at Chelsea for the time being, but set his sights on the opportunity to leave the team in January next year.

It is understood that it is almost impossible for Chelsea to recall Sterling back to the first team, and he will continue to train alone at the base with other abandoned players. Chelsea failed to find the next home for Sterling before closing the window. Although Fulham expressed interest and West Ham had some considerations, it was ultimately not possible because Sterling wanted to stay in London to accompany her family.

The transfer windows for Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and the United States are not closed at present, but Sterling has no interest in playing abroad. One possible solution is Chelsea terminated early, but it is unclear whether the club is willing to seriously consider the plan.
