Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are considering a cut-price move for Chelsea outcast Raheem Sterling amidst interest from Manchester United.
Arsenal are looking to reinforce their attack before the end of the transfer window. Mikel Arteta is looking to add more firepower out wide on the flanks and according to a report from The Independent, the Guners are weighing up on a move for Chelsea outcast Raheem Sterling.
The North London club have been offered the opportunity to sign the English international, who is considered to be surplus to requirements at Chelsea. The Blues have already informed the player that he is not a part of Enzo Maresca’s plans and that he is free to leave the club.
Raheem Sterling joined the Blues in the summer of 2022, and he was one of the initial marquee signings made by their new owners. Despite doing a decent job over the last two seasons, the English international is not in Chelsea’s plans moving ahead.
While the Englishman still has three years left on his massive £325,000-a-week contract, Chelsea are looking to sanction his departure this summer. They want to get him off their books before the window shuts, and there is interest in his services from rivals Manchester United and Arsenal.
The Red Devils have been in talks with Chelsea regarding a move for Sterling. Their new sporting director Dan Ashworth is leading the charge as he is a big admirer of the 29-year-old from his time with the FA. While Manchester United seem keen on his services, a deal still looks unlikely.
Arsenal eyeing a deadline-day move for Sterling
Sterling is keen on securing a move away as he has been informed that he will not be playing under new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. But, any deal would require the player to settle a part of his contract and wages with Chelsea. Arsenal seem quite keen on signing the English winger, who has worked with Mikel Arteta during their days at Manchester City.
The Gunners want more firepower on the flanks, and they were keen on signing Nico Williams, who has decided to continue in Spain. Sterling is seen as an ideal alternative who will help strengthen their rotation. He could feature on both flanks, and his arrival will surely take some pressure off the young shoulders of Bukayo Saka.
But, Arsenal have no intentions of paying a transfer fee for the Chelsea outcast, which is why a potential deal could be complicated. More importantly, the player will have to settle his massive £325,000-a-week contract with the Blues before leaving the club.
While the Gunners want him in their squad, they are unlikely to offer him wages of over £150,000 per week, similar figures to those that Manchester United want to pay to the Chelsea outcast. The English international will have to accept fitting into their wage structure to make the move happen.
