Enzo Maresca is clear: Raheem Sterling he won’t play with Chelsea as long as he is the coach of the London team. He made it clear yesterday: “He won’t play a single minute here,” the Argentine said. The former England international was left out of Manchester City’s squad and was also not included for Thursday’s Conference League duel.
“There is no place for him,” Maresca insisted after the debut against City. “I’ve been honest, he will not play a minute here. It’s not that I don’t think he’s a good player, but I prefer a different style of play. It’s simple,” he added about the 29-year-old footballer, who has three years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
Sterling is open to leaving, but not at any price, and there is no denying that he needs to continue at Chelsea next season. The transfer deadline is next week and there is a risk that the club won’t be able to get him off the ground. “That’s not my problem. I’m here to make a decision. I don’t care how many years are left on the contract, that’s not my job. They can have a 20-year contract, I don’t care,” concluded Marseca.
