Transfer: No club yet – Romano provides update on Chelsea winger
Aston Villa do not want to sign Raheem Sterling from Chelsea this summer.
Acclaimed transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano reports that there is nothing in stories making the rounds about the Englishman moving to Villa Park
Sterling’s number 7 shirt has already been given to new signing, Pedro Neto which confirms that there is no place for him in Enzo Maresca’s plans at Chelsea.
The Englishman, who has played for Liverpool and Manchester City, has not lived up to reputation at Stamford Bridge, so moving him on could prove to be a challenge.
Recent reports have suggested that Aston Villa are ready to take the 29-year-old to Villa Park this summer.
However, speaking to Guvemesport, Romano said there is nothing concrete.
“I think they (Aston Villa) want to do something in the offensive positions. For Sterling, to be honest I also saw these links, but I don’t have a confirmation of this story. So, at the moment, still nothing concrete in the Sterling story,” said Romano.
“Let’s see. I think for Sterling, for sure there will be clubs appearing in the next days trying to get an opportunity for an important player like him, who is leaving Chelsea.
“But, at the moment, still no direct contact with Aston Villa from what I have heard.”
