English winger Raheem Sterling is ready to snub interest from Saudi Arabia as he aims to a fight for a place at Chelsea, as reported by The Evening Standard.

Club owner Todd Boehly is keen on letting the 29-year-old leave this summer to raise funds for new signings, but the player seemingly has other plans.

The England international is Chelsea's highest earner with £325,000 per week.

The Saudis will likely offer him a pay rise, but he is not interested in making the switch at this stage of his career. 

Sterling arrived from Manchester City in 2022 in a £47.5 million deal that runs until 2027.

The winger has only scored 17 goals in 74 appearnces at Chelsea thus far.
