- Sterling not in squad for game against Manchester City
- Portuguese international poised to sign for initial €50m
Raheem Sterling fears he will play no further role at Chelsea after his surprise omission from the squad against Manchester City. The forward’s status has been further diminished by the club agreeing to sign João Félix from Atlético Madrid for €50m (£42m) plus €10m (£8.5m) in potential add-ons.
Sterling, who has three years left on a deal worth £325,000 a week, is urgently seeking clarity from the club over his future at the club after Enzo Maresca took the “technical decision” to leave him out of his side’s 2-0 defeat against City on Sunday.
