Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen Interested in Raheem Sterling
Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling could be on the move. According to a source from Alofoke Deportes, Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen are among the clubs interested in the player.
Sterling has two years remaining on his contract with Chelsea. The club has reportedly set a price of £20 million (approximately $27 million) for his transfer.
The footballer has been training in Cobham since last week, after being excluded from the Chelsea squad that won the Club World Cup in the United States.
Last season, Sterling was on loan at Arsenal, where he had a difficult campaign, participating in 17 Premier League matches and registering two assists, without scoring goals.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca included Sterling in his “bomb squad”, a group of players who train separately from the first team and are told they have no future at the club, before his transfer to Arsenal on the last day of the transfer window.
Most of Chelsea’s squad is currently on vacation after the triumph in the Club World Cup, but the source of Alofoke Deportes indicates that Sterling is working and focused on the new season.
No specific proposal has been discussed with Sterling yet, but Juventus and Leverkusen are considered important options for the player.
