The two members of the list of coach Enzo Maresca's liquidation, Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi, are facing the uncertain future after being unable to leave Chelsea before the transfer period.
Chelsea gave the duo star Nicolas Jackson and Ben Chilwell leaving the last day of the summer transfer in a very dramatic way. Jackson moved to Bayern Munich, and Chilwell joined Strasbourg.
Jackson really wanted to join Bayern after Joao Pedro and Liam Delap arrived at Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea had considered the prevention of this deal because Delap had just had a injury last weekend. However, Bayern finally reached an agreement with the Blues, agreed to borrow the Senegal player with conditions forced to buy off for £ 70 million.
The German champion will pay the initial borrowing fee of £ 14.3 million for Jackson and pay an additional £ 56.2 million in the summer of 2026 if Jackson plays the full number of times in the contract. £ 70 million is a significant profit for Chelsea, the team only spent £ 32 million to sign a contract with Jackson from Villarreal in 2023. He scored 20 goals after 81 appearances for the Blues.
Meanwhile, British left -back Chilwell left Stamford Bridge to sign a 2 -year contract with Ligue 1's Strasbourg, a club with the same owner as Chelsea. However, Chelsea could not find a new stop for their highest paid players, Raheem Sterling, as well as a £ 38.5 million contract, Axel Disasi.
Coach Maresca put Sterling on his liquidated player list from last summer and approved him to move to Arsenal on a loan of 1 season. Sterling, who 4 times the Premier League championship with Man City, hopes to revive his career in the North London club, but the results have almost no contribution to coach Mikel Arteta's team and have to return to Chelsea this summer.
During the recent transfer, Chelsea has sought solutions to sell this 30 -year -old player but failed. Therefore, Sterling, who is receiving a salary of more than £ 300,000/week, will stay at the club at least until January. Sterling will continue to practice separately with Disasi while waiting for a new stop. Another player still in Stamford Bridge is Tyrique George, who witnessed the £ 22 million transfer to Fulham, dramatic broken in the last hours.
George agreed to join Chelsea's west London rival team because he wanted to have more time to play. Even this young player passed a medical examination at Fulham, but the deal was not completed. The reason is thought to be because Leeds United did not sign a contract with Fulham's Harry Wilson as expected.
As a result, George will return to Chelsea, but his prospect in his first team is much brighter in the context of Delap to take a break for a while. The 19 -year -old joined Chelsea's academy at the age of 8, had 27 appearances for the first team and impressed at the Conference League last season.
