Raheem Sterling is currently going through a challenging time at Chelsea. New head coach Enzo Maresca has made it clear that Sterling doesn't fit into his plans for the season, leading to the winger training separately from the first team, alongside others like Ben Chilwell. Maresca's preference for a "different kind of winger" has resulted in Sterling being excluded from key matches, such as Chelsea's Premier League opener against Manchester City and a UEFA Conference League play-off.
This situation has fueled widespread speculation about Sterling's future at the club, and he has been linked with potential moves to several clubs, including Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Juventus. However, these clubs do not seem to be his next destination. Reports in England suggest that Crystal Palace is keen on a loan deal for Sterling, but his substantial weekly salary of £350,000 could pose a problem.
Crystal Palace Manager Oliver Glasner commented, "You can name 20 players from Chelsea because they have a big squad. Raheem Sterling is a fantastic player, but it doesn't mean he will be a Crystal Palace player. He's a great player, but I don't know what will happen with him."
While Aston Villa and Arsenal appear to have distanced themselves from pursuing Sterling, another possibility could be a move overseas. Reports have linked Sterling with Turkish giants Fenerbahce, who, under the leadership of José Mourinho, are aiming to attract top-tier players.
