Agents Of £325,000 Per Week Chelsea Star In Talk With Saudi Pro League Clubs

Chelsea’s hierarchy does not believe Raheem Sterling has a part to play in the club’s future. The England international, who was Todd Boehly’s first marquee signing since taking over from Roman Abramovich two years ago, remains a regular having started 20 Premier League games so far this season. However, with Sterling, 29, failing to make the kind of impact that was expected of him, the winger is facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge.

The 29-year-old, who supposedly costs Chelsea an incredible £325,000 per week, is apparently an ambitious summer transfer target for teams in the lucrative Pro League of Saudi Arabia.

Al-Hilal, who acquired Kalidou Koulibaly from the Blues last summer, is reportedly one of the teams interested in Sterling, and the player’s representation have already begun negotiations over a potential deal, according to a recent HITC report.

Presumably seen as a priority target who could assist establish the Pro League, Sterling may likely be the next prominent Premier League export to switch from playing European football to Middle Eastern football.

From a Saudi perspective, Jordan Henderson’s recent transfer reversal, in which the former captain of Liverpool turned down a lucrative contract and joined Ajax after just six months at Al-Ettifaq, may have an impact on the decisions of potential targets.

Only Sterling himself is aware of his goals, but given his lucrative contract with Chelsea, which is set to expire in three and a half years, and the fact that he will likely stay in Gareth Southgate’s plans for England, there may not be much of a reason for the 29-year-old to leave for good just yet.
