Chelsea outcast Raheem Sterling was reportedly “reluctant” to move away from Stamford Bridge despite interest from a number of high-profile suitors, including Bayern Munich and Napoli.
The English forward spent last season on loan at Arsenal and was not afforded the chance to make that stay permanent by the Gunners. Enzo Maresca made it abundantly apparent at the start of last season that there would be no place in his plans for Sterling, theoretically forcing the 30-year-old to look for a new club.
