Raheem Sterling to Wrexham? Ryan Reynolds sent ‘chequebook out’ warning as £300,000-a-week Chelsea-owned winger generates ‘interesting’ transfer talk

England international Sterling is, at 30 years of age, generating more transfer talk. He remains under contract at Chelsea, but has spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Premier League rivals Arsenal.

A disappointing season there, with only one goal recorded through 26 appearances in all competitions, has sparked speculation regarding another move. Chelsea are expected to sanction a sale if a suitable offer is tabled over the summer.

Wrexham are drawing up more ambitious plans following their promotion into the Championship, with Jamie Vardy one England international that has seen a move to SToK Racecourse mooted. Could the Red Dragons finance a deal for Sterling?

Ex-Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Petit has told BesteOnlineCasinoNederland: “Chelsea would be happy to let Raheem Sterling go with only a year left on his contract, the issue for Wrexham would be how much the wages are.

“He is probably on over £300,000 a week and Wrexham would have to offer him a great package to convince him to sign. It would be interesting to see, but Ryan Reynolds would have to get the chequebook out.

“When it comes to Sterling in the Premier League, we all know he isn’t the same player he once was.”

Sterling, who has tumbled out of contention for England call-ups after earning 82 caps for his country, may believe that a fresh start will help him to rediscover a lost spark - but stepping down into the second tier may be too big an ask given his standing in the game and sizeable salary demands.
