The downfall of a star player! Sterling was valued at €160 million at 25, but now at 30, he is sidelined with no club to play for.

There are numerous tales of football stars' declines, and this time the focus is on the former English starSterling. Now aged 30, Sterling’s high salary has made his situation more difficult than Sancho’s, as the English forward has failed to secure a new club and remains at Chelsea. The Blues’ coach Maresca has fully sidelined Sterling, removing him from the main squad, leaving him to train alone to keep in shape. Since the summer transfer window in the top five leagues has closed, Sterling must wait until the winter window to try and find a new club.

At 30, many modern players are still in their prime, but Sterling has no club to play for. Five years ago, Sterling was a superstar valued at €160 million and a key player for England.During the 2019-20 season, Sterling appeared 52 times for Manchester City across all competitions, scoring 31 goals and providing 10 assists, making him a top forward capable of both creating and scoring, as well as breaking through defenses. He was also the leading scorer for Manchester City at that time.

However, after that season, Sterling gradually fell out of favor with Guardiola. In the 2022 summer transfer window, he moved to Chelsea for €56.2 million, but his career at the Blues lost its shine. He was eventually discarded and loaned to Arsenal last season in an attempt to revive his form, which failed. Sterling scored only 1 goal in 28 appearances, leaving him without a Premier League suitor. Since leaving Arsenal, he has not played any official matches.

Sterling’s market value has plummeted from €160 million five years ago to just €10 million now. At 30, he has no club to play for, yet his weekly wage remains a hefty £325,000. He still has two years left on his Chelsea contract, and given his current form, he will likely spend these two years inactive at Chelsea, collecting his salary before retiring peacefully.
