Raheem Sterling has made it clear he has no plans to move to Saudi Arabia, despite being dropped by Chelsea.
The 29-year-old winger is determined to stay in the Premier League as he looks to secure a permanent transfer away from Stamford Bridge.
Sterling, who has been training at home after being dropped by Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, is not interested in moving abroad.
His family are based in London and he is focused on reviving his career in England, so his priority is to return to the top flight of English football. While Juventus have shown interest, Sterling prefers to remain in the Premier League.
Sterling aims to stay in the Premier League
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Sterling is clear about his next steps. He wants a permanent transfer and has ruled out the possibility of going out on loan or accepting offers from Saudi clubs.
With three years remaining on his Chelsea contract, worth more than £300,000 a week, finding a new club could be a challenge unless Chelsea agree to subsidise his wages or take a significant pay cut.
Sterling’s time at Chelsea has been turbulent and he recently lost his No. 7 shirt to new signing Pedro Neto.
He has been part of a group of players, including Ben Chilwell and Trevoh Chalobah, who have been sidelined by Maresca. Despite the difficult situation, Sterling remains committed to finding a solution that will keep him in the Premier League.
