CaughtOffside’s weekly column with “super agent” Jon Smith always has some interesting lines for Chelsea fans, and this week is no dfferent.
On the subject of Raheem Sterling, he agrees a move is likely, but also warns Blues fans it might not be a move that happens this window.
“One player I do think Chelsea could make something happen with is Manchester City’s, Raheem Sterling. It may not necessarily be this window, but certainly at some point in the future,” Smith explained.
It’s an odd one. It’s hardly like City are going to be selling in January, midway through what’s likely to be another busy trophy winning season for them, and of course, Sterling will be a free agent next summer, so while that benefits his ability to get a monster signing on fee and an even bigger contract, it’s not in Man City’s interest at all.
They won’t be held to ransom, and they have almost limitless wealth, but even they will see the sense of selling him now.
All will be revealed in the next few weeks – we hope, at least.
