"Chelsea are "working closely with the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA)," sources have told ESPN, over the club's treatment of Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi. Both players are training away from the first-team after being told they have no future at Stamford Bridge. Sterling, 30, has two years remaining on the five-year contract he signed when he joined Chelsea from Manchester City in a £47.5 million ($64.85m) transfer in July 2022, becoming the first signing under the club's new owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital."
"Disasi, 27, was a £38.5m signing from Monaco in August 2023 is under contract at Chelsea until June 2029. Both players spent last season on loan away from Stamford Bridge with former England winger Sterling making 28 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal and Disasi playing 10 times for Aston Villa. Despite both Sterling and Disasi being available for transfer this summer, neither was able to secure a move."
"Sources have told ESPN that Napoli and Bayern Munich both made attempts to sign Sterling, but with the London-born player wanting to remain in the capital to be with his young family, the proposals on offer from the two clubs were not suitable at the time. But with Sterling and Disasi still at Stamford Bridge following the closure of the transfer window on Sept. 1, hopes of a return to Enzo Maresca's squad have not come to fruition."
