Revealed: Chelsea face 'huge' Raheem Sterling stumbling block

Raheem Sterling’s wages will prove a stumbling block in any potential Chelsea exit before the 30 August deadline, sources have told Football Insider.

Sources say the 29-year-old earns a “huge” salary at Stamford Bridge and is one of the club’s top earners.

It is believed Chelsea are willing to listen to offers for the four-time Premier League winner, but are likely to struggle to move him on due to his wage demands.

Sterling has been widely linked with a potential move to Serie A side Juventus in recent days as speculation continues about his long-term Chelsea future.

Football Insider revealed on Monday (12 August) that the winger is content at Chelsea and has no plans to leave the club.

It is believed Juventus would struggle to offer Sterling a suitable salary package capable of persuading him to leave for Italy.

The England international has three years left to run on his lucrative Chelsea deal.

Sterling has fresh competition in his winger role after the recent arrival of Pedro Neto from Wolves.

Nevertheless, he is keen to stay at Stamford Bridge and fight for a starting berth – and has also recently revealed he is desperate to return to the England setup.

The 82-cap star notched 10 goals and eight assists in 43 club appearances across all competitions last term, starting in 31 of those outings.
