Former Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling has been offered to three Ligue 1 clubs but none opted to sign him, French outlet Foot Mercato reports. The player has been a free agent since his release from Feyenoord last year.
KEY CONTEXT
Sterling, a 31-year-old England international, has been dealing with legal issues of different kinds while out of club football. Despite those problems, the source says he remains determined to return to competitive football and has been prepared to accept a short-term deal.
TRANSFER SITUATION
One of the Ligue 1 sides that declined the opportunity was Le Havre. According to the report, Sterling currently has offers from lower leagues but remains focused on reviving his career at the highest level and will be offered to other clubs.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
There is no confirmed next destination. The report indicates Sterling is in the market and willing to consider short-term arrangements as he seeks a return to top-level football.
