One of Europe’s elite clubs could be about to offer one Chelsea outcast a way out of Stamford Bridge this summer.

There are several players at Chelsea who are not part of Enzo Maresca‘s plans, including the likes of Joao Felix, Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling.

It has been claimed that Burnley have made an enquiry to sign Chilwell, so the defender could be staying in England.

As for Felix and Sterling, moves elsewhere look very likely, as they continue to attract interest from clubs outside of the Premier League.

Chelsea open to loaning out Raheem Sterling again amid Juventus interest

Benfica are keen on Felix, while Sterling appears to have caught Juventus’ attention.

According to talkSPORT, the Serie A outfit, as well as Bayer Leverkusen, are interested in signing the winger during this transfer window.

While the Club World Cup winners would prefer to offload Sterling permanently, the same outlet claims that they would be open to doing another loan deal.

Sterling joined Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal on loan last season, but the 30-year-old did not have a productive time there.

In the end, Sterling managed to score just one goal in 28 outings. It was a campaign to forget for the England international.

Even so, Sterling is still seemingly attracting interest from one of the biggest clubs in the world, two-time Champions League winners Juventus.

What sources close to Raheem Sterling are now saying

According to BBC Sport, sources close to Sterling’s situation at Stamford Bridge are saying that there are multiple European sides who are interested in the former Manchester City man.

It is great news for Chelsea, who will be desperate to get rid of Sterling. His move to west London has just not worked out and he is on absolutely huge wages.

They have to get that off their books or find a club who will help pay some of it while he is on loan there. That club, by the looks of it, could be Juventus.
