Raheem Sterling could be on his way out of Chelsea according to latest reports.

Juventus are reportedly in talks with Chelsea over a swap deal involving Federico Chiesa in exchange for Raheem Sterling.

The Italian club are keen on signing the ex-Manchester City man, but the proposal was reportedly rejected due to disagreements over player valuations and significant differences in wages.

Juventus interested in Chelsea's Sterling

Sterling, who turns 30 later this season, is unlikely to be a starter this season as Chelsea focuses on building a young squad and Juventus believe there is an opportunity to capitalise on that uncertainty.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus remain interested but there is yet to be an agreement.

The Bianconeri are now struggling to find a suitable buyer for Chiesa, who has been reportedly banished from first-team training in an attempt to force him out.

AS Roma, who are facing the departure of Paulo Dybala to the Saudi Pro League, have been linked to Chiesa, but a deal remains uncertain.

Meanwhile, the Blues are closing in on completing a deal for Joao Felix, who will arrive to bolster Enzo Maresca's attack for the new season.

There is still interest in Napoli's Victor Osimhen but a move needs to happen sooner rather than later with the transfer window closing in less than two weeks.
