Sterling is set to depart from Chelsea this summer after experiencing a tough year on loan at Arsenal, where he faced difficulties in making a real impact. There are whispers that multiple clubs are keen to sign the 30-year-old, with Fulham and Napoli emerging as the frontrunners for his signature. It’ll be interesting to see where he ends up next!
Despite having two years left on his contract with Chelsea, it seems there’s no clear future for Sterling at Stamford Bridge. A year ago, he found himself out of favor with Enzo Maresca and subsequently made the move to Arsenal, hoping to rejuvenate his career. Unfortunately, that time didn’t turn out the way he had hoped. He played in just 17 matches in the Premier League and found the back of the net only once. For someone with his talent, that must have been disheartening.
Now, as the new season approaches, Sterling is once again facing the prospect of finding a new club if he wants to get back on the pitch regularly come 2025/26. It’s reported that he’s been put on Napoli’s radar, a club looking to bolster its squad with a left winger. They had previously missed out on signing Alejandro Garnacho back in January, so it makes sense they’re exploring different options now. Alongside Sterling, they’re also eyeing players like Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad and Dan Ndoye from Bologna.

Fulham is another potential pathway for Sterling. They’re in the market for some fresh talent to strengthen their wings and have also shown interest in bringing back Reiss Nelson from Arsenal. While a move to Fulham could allow Sterling to stay in the Premier League and avoid too much upheaval, it seems the club is taking its time to strategize. Manager Marco Silva has acknowledged that they’re still in the early stages of their transfer plans.
“I understand the fans’ eagerness. We want to have our squad ready before the pre-season kicks off properly,” Silva recently said. “But until now, it hasn’t been possible. We’re working hard, and while we haven’t made any signings just yet, there’s plenty of business left to do in this market.”
For Sterling, it’s a pivotal moment. He’ll be hoping for a chance to reignite his career, and with interest from clubs like Napoli and Fulham, he just might find the fresh start he’s been searching for.
