Since then, his career has been on a steady decline after his bench time at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/manchester-city-110\">Manchester City<\/a>, followed by his move to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/chelsea-106\">Chelsea<\/a>, a move that hasn&#8217;t shown much promise. Following Sterling&#8217;s loan to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/arsenal-104\">Arsenal<\/a>, making 28 appearances for the Gunners in the 24-25 season, it was announced that he would return to Chelsea. <br><br>Offers from Champions League teams <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/bayer-leverkusen-333\">Bayer Leverkusen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/juventus-226\">Juventus<\/a>, along with Premier League sides <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/fulham-120\">Fulham<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/crystal-palace-10\">Crystal Palace<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/west-ham-united-113\">West Ham<\/a> were dished out, but Sterling&#8217;s desire to stay closer to his family hindered his ability to change clubs. Despite the Turkish and Saudi league transfer windows remaining open after failing to complete a summer move, staying at Chelsea seems increasingly likely as he becomes a part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/enzo-maresca-6449\">Enzo Maresca&#8217;s<\/a> newly labeled &#8216;bomb squad&#8217; contains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/axel-disasi-60112\">Axel Disasi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/david-fofana-88510\">David Fofana<\/a>, who have all fallen out of the lineup in recent time for Chelsea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-1789654488-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Raheem Sterling of Chelsea\" class=\"wp-image-11628\" style=\"width:841px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Photo by Darren Walsh\/Chelsea FC via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"leandro-trossard\">Arsenal winger with limited minutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After aiding Arsenal to their third straight second place finish in the premier league, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/leandro-trossard-27537\">Leandro Trossard<\/a> looked to be compensated for his efforts. Last year, Trossard competed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/gabriel-martinelli-65748\">Gabriel Martinelli<\/a> for the left wing spot, resulting in 16 G\/A in his 28 starting appearances. This season, he remains as an untouched bench player with only 37 minutes, a stark difference to his previous campaign. New signings <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/noni-madueke-73449\">Noni Madueke<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/eberechi-eze-46883\">Eberechi Eze<\/a> have dropped him down the pecking order.<br><br>Clubs such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/as-roma-225\">Roma<\/a>, Fenerbah\u00e7e and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/borussia-dortmund-341\">Borussia Dortmund<\/a> showed interest earlier in the window, however none of the moves materialised. Since the transfer deadline day occurred, Super Lig club <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/besiktas-947\">Be\u015fikta\u015f<\/a> is the only team to send an offer for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/belgium-2373\">Belgian<\/a> International, a \u00a319m fee. The Gunners aren&#8217;t tempted to sell him as his contract extends to 2027, but there is still a possibility before the window closes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"735\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2175272019-1024x735.jpg\" alt=\"Leandro Trossard #19 of Arsenal\" class=\"wp-image-11629\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Photo by Stuart MacFarlane\/Arsenal FC via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"david-alaba\">Madrid&#8217;s star with an uncertain future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/david-alaba-1836\">David Alaba<\/a> has fallen out of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/real-madrid-131\">Real Madrid<\/a> lineup, behind players such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/antonio-rudiger-5542\">Antonio R\u00fcdiger<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/eder-militao-48583\">\u00c9der Milit\u00e3o<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/ferland-mendy-49410\">Ferland Mendy<\/a> and playing only 14 matches for the Spanish giants last season. He claims that he is ready to play a full 90 minutes this season for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/xabi-alonso-124\">Xabi Alonso<\/a> on his return from his meniscus tear, but that opportunity has not been given yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/austria-5059\">Austrian<\/a> legend has been pursued by Turkish giants Be\u015fikta\u015f and Fenerbah\u00e7e, but seems committed to Los Blancos. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/bayern-munich-331\">Bayern Munich<\/a> Legend is under contract with Real Madrid until 2026, and intends to stay among offers from the Super Lig.
