Chelsea would be willing to let Raheem Sterling leave the club during this summer's transfer window, according to a report.

Chelsea are reportedly willing to listen to offers for Raheem Sterling during this summer's transfer window.

The 28-year-old only arrived at Stamford Bridge last July, and he has been a regular for the Blues during the 2022-23 campaign, making 22 appearances, scoring six goals and contributing three assists.

Sterling has a contract with Chelsea until June 2027, meanwhile, but according to Football Insider, his future with the London giants is far from secure.

The report claims that Chelsea would be willing to listen to offers for the England international, having been unimpressed by his performances since arriving from Manchester City.

The Blues are said to have expected a much higher output from Sterling, who is currently on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.

The Englishman started his professional career at Liverpool, spending three years with the Merseyside giants before arriving at Man City, representing the Citizens for seven years.

Sterling won four Premier League titles, one FA Cup and five EFL Cup trophies during his time at the Etihad Stadium, but he was allowed to leave over the summer.

Chelsea announced the signing of Mykhaylo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk on Sunday, with the 22-year-old signing a contract at Stamford Bridge until June 2030.

The Blues have also brought in Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos and David Datro Fofana this month, while Joao Felix has arrived on loan from Atletico Madrid.

As a result, Sterling would not be guaranteed a spot in the starting XI when Chelsea boss Graham Potter has a full squad to choose from.

Despite the incredible capture of Mudryk, which saw them beat Arsenal to his signature, the Blues are still thought to be eyeing more attacking signings before the end of the transfer window.

Borussia Monchengladbach's Marcus Thuram, who is out of contract at the end of the campaign, is said to be a leading target for the club, who have a couple more weeks to bring in new players.

Chelsea managed to secure a huge three points on Sunday afternoon, recording a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge, with Kai Havertz netting the only goal of the contest.

Potter's side have three more league matches against Liverpool, Fulham and West Ham United before visiting Borussia Dortmund for the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash.
