A straightforward explanation.

Recently, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca stated that Raheem Sterling is not in his plans. The club began searching for new options for the winger, but this turned out to be more complex than anticipated.

Details: As reported by the BBC, Chelsea sought to transfer Sterling to Bayer Leverkusen or Juventus, with additional interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia. However, Sterling prioritized his family stability, refusing to move again just three years after their last relocation.

Any transfer would have required Sterling to move his young family, which ultimately prevented him from making a decision to move abroad this transfer window. With his wish to remain in London and a £350,000-a-week salary, no club was prepared to take on the situation.

Recall: During the summer transfer window, Chelsea even considered the option of terminating Sterling’s contract early.
