According to the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, Sterling will leave Feyenoord when his contract expires, with no extension planned. The 31-year-old winger joined the Dutch club in February on a deal for the rest of the season after terminating his contract with Chelsea at the end of January. During his brief stint at Feyenoord, Sterling made six league appearances, starting four matches and providing one assist. His future plans after leaving Feyenoord have not been disclosed, and there has been no official confirmation from the club regarding his departure.
Sterling's recent career moves have been marked by rapid transitions. Chelsea signed him from Manchester City in the summer of 2022 for a reported fee of £45 million plus £10 million in bonuses. After being loaned to Arsenal last season and falling out of Chelsea's plans this season, he ended his contract with the London club before swiftly moving to Feyenoord. The specific reasons for the non-renewal of his contract at Feyenoord remain unclear.
Meanwhile, Emil Krafth, also 31, appears to be leaving Newcastle United, according to Expressen Sport. Transfer journalist Nicolo Schira reported that there will be no contract extension for the defender. Newcastle, currently eleventh in the Premier League, has not provided official confirmation of Krafth's impending exit. Krafth's future plans after leaving Newcastle have not been announced, and the financial or contractual details behind Sterling's termination with Chelsea are also unknown.
