The Daily Mail has now reported that Sterling has invited interest from Crystal Palace and Aston Villa regarding a move this summer before the end of the transfer window. As per the report, the Eagles and the Villains are still trying to work out whether the deal would indeed be a possibility with the transfer window set to close in just over a week. The former Manchester City star's reported £325,000-per-week wages are said to be the biggest obstacle that could hinder either side from signing Sterling this summer.

It is highly possible that Sterling may accept a significant pay cut to sign with another club this summer as the 29-year-old wants regular playing time, something which he will not get at Chelsea. It has also been reported that he will likely look to remain in England, hence, the move to Juventus may not be on his mind at the moment.
