After the previous rumors about Fulgem’s interest in Rakhim Sterling, the situation is gaining momentum. According to Teamtalk, the parties have already approached the coordination of personal conditions-the “Cottagers” held a number of constructive negotiations with representatives of a 30-year-old Englishman. This can be a key step to the final completion of the transfer. Sources indicate that despite a considerable week salary (about 300,000 pounds), sterling is structurally and ready for compromise.

Chelsea is determined for its part – the club wants to finally say goodbye to the player and is ready to release him for an estimated 20 million pounds, which is much less than the amount that the club paid by Manchester City in 2022 (47.5 million).

After the lease season in the arsenal, where Sterling recorded one goal and five assistants in 28 matches, he failed to convince the leadership of the Blue in its need. The new head coach Enzo Maresska has already launched a restructuring of the attacking line and is looking for an alternative to the flank attacker.

As it became known, one of the priority options for Chelsea is Winger Manchester United Alejandro Garna, who can also leave his club this summer. The new manager United Ruben Amzrim sees the Argentine in his plans, and this opens the way to a potential transition to Stamford Bridge.

For sterling, the transfer to Fulgem can be the ability to restart a career in a stable club with ambitions. The Marco Silva team last season has completed the 11th place and seeks to strengthen the attack by an experienced performer, capable of creating moments both individually and through a collective game.

The agreement has not yet been completed, but every day looks more real. If the parties finally agree financial conditions – sterling will change the club within the capital of England again.
