Juventus has expressed interest in acquiring Raheem Sterling from Chelsea and has made enquiries on his availability, following his exclusion from the squad.
Juventus express interest in acquiring Sterling.
Sterling excluded from Maresca’s future plans for Chelsea.
Juventus will need to reduce their payroll bill before making any further moves.
Chelsea commenced their season with a challenging encounter against Manchester City at an away venue. Regrettably, Sterling was excluded from Enzo Maresca’s team for this match. The player’s entourage promptly raised doubts about Chelsea’s intentions, alerting other teams to the possibility of the winger being available for a transfer during the summer.
According to The Daily Mail, Juventus had shown their interest in Sterling’s abilities before the events unfolded on Sunday. The Italian team is eager to get Sterling in order to help the Bianconeri reclaim their former dominance in the national league.
Nevertheless, if Juventus is genuinely contemplating the acquisition of Sterling for the Allianz Stadium, they must prioritise organising the exit of several players from the club. The Serie A team is unable to afford the rumoured high salary of the England national player, which amount to £325,000 per week, and will need to make sales in order to manage their finances. Reports indicate that Federico Chiesa, a standout player for Italy in Euro 2020, is not desired by Thiago Motta. If Chiesa is sold, it might create room in the pay budget for the entrance of Sterling.
It is uncertain whether the England international will be willing to relocate his complete family to Italy and depart from the United Kingdom at this stage of his career. If he chooses to relocate, Juventus will need to expeditiously negotiate an agreement with Chelsea due to the imminent transfer deadline.
