Not part of the plans. Chelsea puts Raheem Sterling up for transfer

London's Chelsea has decided to put 30-year-old winger Raheem Sterling on the transfer list, as he is no longer part of head coach Enzo Maresca's plans.

Despite having a contract that runs until 2027, the club is open to any offers for the player, reports The Sun. Two possible exit scenarios are being considered: either a potential buyer buys out Sterling's contract, or Chelsea pays the player compensation for early termination of the agreement.
