It seems that former professional footballer Alan Shearer has some insider knowledge about the goings-on at Chelsea Football Club. According to Shearer, Chelsea have already informed player Raheem Sterling that he should begin looking for a new team. This news comes after Sterling was left off the matchday roster for Chelsea's Premier League opener against Manchester City.
Many were surprised by Sterling's absence from the squad, especially since he joined Chelsea from City in 2022. The 29-year-old had a difficult season last year and now faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. In fact, his representatives released a statement before the game expressing their confusion and seeking clarification from the club.
However, Shearer's comments on The Rest is Football podcast indicate that Sterling has already been told to move on. "I'm told that he's trained all pre-season and was told on Friday that he's probably best off looking elsewhere for a club because they've brought other people in in that position," Shearer said. "As hard as that is and it will be for him because as far as I can remember he hasn't been unprofessional at all at Chelsea."
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards also weighed in on the situation, agreeing that it must be frustrating for Sterling but criticizing the decision to make a public statement. "It's just created more chaos around the club," Richards said. "Chelsea are already having to deal with loads of off-field problems."
It seems that Sterling's future at Chelsea is uncertain, but his representatives are still hopeful for a positive outcome. In their statement, they emphasized that Sterling is committed to delivering his best for the club and its fans and that they have always had a good relationship with Chelsea regarding his future. They also expressed their desire to gain clarity on the situation and continue supporting Sterling in starting the new season on a positive note.
Sterling, who has scored 19 goals in 81 appearances for Chelsea, has had a difficult time replicating the success he had at Manchester City, where he won four Premier League titles under the guidance of Pep Guardiola. It remains to be seen what will happen with his career at Chelsea, but it seems that there may be some tension and unrest at the club as they navigate this situation. As Shearer predicts, this may not be the only case of player dissatisfaction that Chelsea will have to deal with this season.
