Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling has been linked with a move away from the club throughout the summer transfer window.
Serie A champions Napoli need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and experienced England international attacker Raheem Sterling could prove to be a useful acquisition for the Partenopei.
The Englishman has not been at his best since leaving Manchester City, and he failed to make his mark at Arsenal last season. The 30-year-old was on loan at the North London club, but his performances were underwhelming. Chelsea do not view him as a key part of their plans, and they are hoping to offload him permanently.
It will be interesting to see if Napoli take up the opportunity to sign the 82-cap England international. According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Chelsea misfit has been offered to the Serie A club in recent weeks.
The Englishman will be hoping to sort out his long-term future as well. Joining Napoli could be an interesting opportunity, as they are the champions of Italy and have a talented squad, along with a world-class manager like Antonio Conte.
The former Chelsea manager might be able to bring out the best in the player once again. Sterling was a world-class player during his time at Manchester City, but he has not been able to recapture that form so far. The 82-cap English international needs the right move this summer to get his career back on track.
Sterling might fancy Napoli move
Napoli are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be attractive for most players. The Partenopei would be able to offer him the platform to fight for trophies and compete in the UEFA Champions League. It remains to be seen whether the Serie A outfit are prepared to pay up for the 82-cap English international.
The Italian champions are fully aware of the fact that Chelsea want to get rid of the player, and they will hope to sign him for a knockdown price. Chelsea will have to be reasonable with their demands for the move to go through this summer. They have done well to improve their attacking unit, and selling Sterling could help them improve the squad even further.
