Sterling leaves Chelsea by mutual consent

Raheem Sterling has left Chelsea by mutual consent after reaching an agreement to end his contract early.

The 31-year-old had 18 months remaining on his £325,000u2011au2011week deal.

Sterling leaves after three-and-a-half seasons at Stamford Bridge following his move from Manchester City for £47.5m in 2022.

"We thank Raheem for the contribution he made while a Chelsea player and wish him well for the next stage in his career," Chelsea said.

The England international made 81 appearances for the Blues but had not played a competitive match for Chelsea since May 2024.
