The transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, reveals that Raheem Sterling will not be joining Fenerbahce this summer to work with former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
Recent speculations said Sterling was close to a move to Fenerbahce, who had recently recruited Mourinho as their new manager, but Romano has denied the allegations.
Fabrizio Romano shed light on Sterling’s transfer rumours, as he stated in his exclusive Daily Briefing column for Caught Offside:
The strikers’ market is slowing entering important weeks and things will happen in June, but someone who is not planning to make a move at least as of now is Raheem Sterling.
He isn’t leaving Chelsea and joining Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahçe, even if the Turkish club are willing to make very good investments for the Portuguese manager.
I repeat, there is absolutely nothing between Raheem Sterling and Fenerbahçe. Zero. No contracts ongoing, no negotiations ongoing, no talks. We will follow the situation but everything is really quiet around Sterling at the moment
