Raheem Sterling Could Join Napoli as Chelsea Look to Sell

Chelsea want to sell Raheem Sterling and have offered him to Napoli. The Italian club is searching for new attackers this summer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Sterling had a tough loan spell at Arsenal last season. He scored one goal and got five assists in 28 games. Now, Chelsea want to sell the England international. They have offered Sterling to Napoli, who are exploring options as they seek a new left winger. Napoli are also considering Dan Ndoye from Bologna and Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad. Napoli’s manager Antonio Conte likes Sterling, but the club is keeping its options open.

NAPOLI AND CHELSEA: SEASON SO FAR

Napoli finished as winners in Serie A last season. They have qualified for the Champions League and the added calendar means they need a deeper squad than last season, where they only played the Serie A and other internal competitions. The club hired Antonio Conte as head coach last summer and the decision has already proved correct. Chelsea, on the other hand, finished fourth in the Premier League last season and have recently signed several young players as manager Enzo Maresca builds a new team. According to recent reports, Chelsea recently won the Europa Conference League and finished fourth in the Premier League, which highlights their ambitions moving forward.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR STERLING AND THE CLUBS?

Napoli start the new season with a game against newly-promoted Sassuolo, aiming to win back to back titles for the first time in history. Chelsea take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Both clubs want to finalize their squads before the transfer window closes. Sterling’s future should be clearer in the coming weeks as Napoli finish their winger search and Chelsea conclude their transfer business.
