Newcastle United will plot a triple raid on Chelsea for a trio that earns a combined £455,000-a-week wages, including 29-year-old outcast Raheem Sterling.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Raheem Sterling is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. The Magpies are also interested in signing Axel Disasi and Noni Madueke from Chelsea before the summer transfer window. So, a triple raid might be on the cards for the trio with a combined £455,000-a-week wages.
Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke, Axel Disasi and their Chelsea situations
Raheem Sterling has reached a crossroads in his career after Enzo Maresca recently revealed that he did not have the Englishman in his plans for the 2024/25 season. The 29-year-old has not been at his best since joining Chelsea from Manchester City in July 2022, managing only 19 goals and 12 assists in 81 appearances thus far for the West London club.
As for Noni Madueke, the young English attacker has waged a constant battle for relevance in the first-team squad at Chelsea. The 22-year-old has been a backup option for the West London outfit since arriving from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023, although he has made his mark whenever he has received the opportunities.
Meanwhile, Axel Disasi is the latest arrival among the trio, with the Frenchman joining Chelsea from AS Monaco last summer. He was a regular for the Blues in the 2023/24 season but does not feature in Maresca’s long-term plans, with Chelsea ready to entertain offers for him in the summer transfer window. The trio’s situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of Newcastle United.
Set to reunite at Newcastle United?
Newcastle United’s interest in Noni Madueke, Raheem Sterling, and Axel Disasi is understandable. The Magpies are keen on bolstering their attack before the summer transfer window closes as they look to sell Miguel Almiron and replace him with top-quality forwards.
In addition, they want to reinforce their backline before the summer transfer window shuts down, with Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles long-term absentees for the Tyneside outfit. So, the Chelsea trio are viable targets for Newcastle United, although it is unclear if they are ready to bear their combined £455,000-a-week wages.
Madueke and Disasi’s salary might not be an issue, with Sterling taking him the bulk of those combined £455,000-a-week wages. So, it will be interesting to see if the trio reunites at Newcastle United amid uncertainties surrounding their Chelsea futures.
