Raheem Sterling: Next Club Betting Odds

Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling's career at Stamford Bridge looks to be over after he was omitted from the matchday squad for the season-opener versus Manchester City on Sunday. 

The situation was compounded by a bizarre statement from Sterling's representatives, who said they were seeking 'clarity' from the club about his future prior to the match.

New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca decided not to include the 29-year-old, who is one of the highest-earners at the club, despite Sterling featuring in all six of Chelsea's pre-season friendlies prior to the Premier League's opening weekend.

With a move away from Cobham surely on the cards, we've taken a look at the betting odds to pick out Sterling's likely next destination. 

Raheem Sterling's next club odds

To join Juventus this summer (7/2, Sky Bet)

Sterling has spent the entirety of his career playing in England but his high salary demands may hinder any move to another Premier League club. 

A trip abroad could therefore be most likely for the former Liverpool and Manchester City winger and Italian giants Juventus currently sit favourites to land his signature. 

According to Sky Italy journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Old Lady offered winger Federico Chiesa as part of a potential swap deal for Sterling last week but talks reportedly broke down due to 'discrepancies between the two clubs over the valuation of the players'.

The failure to agree a deal speaks to Juve coming in a tentative 2/1 odds-against favourite, though his recent omission from the Chelsea squad may kickstart negotiations once again. 

To join Crystal Palace this summer (4/1, Sky Bet)

The Eagles have already bid farewell to former winger Michael Olise this summer and could still see attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze depart before the end of the window. 

That could open the door for a move for Sterling, though his wage demands may again prove a major stumbling block. 

He is said to be earning £150,000 a week at Chelsea, considerably more than Crystal Palace's new signing Daichi Mamada, who is reportedly on £105,000 per week. 

Sterling is also only 29-years-old and likely retains ambitions of competing at the highest level of the table - an area where Palace are unlikely to be operating during the 2024-25 season.

To join Newcastle United this summer (16/1, Sky Bet)

Reports from earlier in the window suggested Newcastle could have a vacant spot on their left-hand side after Anthony Gordon was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool.

The Magpies were said to be considering allowing Gordon to leave in order to raise funds to adhere to Profit and Sustainability Rules. 

However, the subsequent departures of Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson satisfied any financial concerns and means Gordon is now likely to remain on Tyneside for the forthcoming season. 

Should another change in circumstances push Gordon back towards the exit door, a move for Sterling could be on, but until then Newcastle will surely prioritise strengthening in other areas of the pitch.

To join West Ham this summer (25/1, Sky Bet)

The Hammers have, pardon the pun, hit the nail on the head during the transfer window so far. 

Bringing in the likes of Niclas Fullkrug, Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo has led to many tipping them for a return to European football next season under new manager Julien Lopetegui. 

Adding a player of Sterling's starpower and experience would only bolster their chances further, though any move could hinge on West Ham losing one of their stars between now and the end of the window. 

Winger Mohammed Kudus looks a set-starter on the left-hand side and that will surely remain the case, unless the Ghanaian was to secure a move elsewhere over the next two weeks.

Such a development appears unlikely and so, combined with Sterling's likely wage demands, a move to East London remains doubtful for the four-time Premier League winner.

To join Fenerbahce this summer (28/1, Sky Bet)

Another European side linked with a move for Sterling are Turkish Super Lig outfit Fenerbache, who are now managed by Premier League legend Jose Mourinho. 

The Portuguese manager won three league titles across two separate spells at Chelsea during his time in west London. 

Fenerbahce's interest in acquiring Sterling's signature was first reported back in June, though the former England international was said to be disinterested in a potential transfer to Turkey. 

His omission from the Chelsea squad and the peculiar statement which followed will only heighten any links to potential suitors though. 

If Fenerbache and Mourinho are admirers, expect them to step-up their interest over the coming days.

To join Everton this summer (33/1, Sky Bet)

Everton are also among the favourites for Sterling's next club. 

Just how well a potential move would go down with the Goodison faithful remains to be seen, particularly given his history with bitter rivals Liverpool. 

Nevertheless, Sean Dyche's side will be seeking further reinforcement after a disappointing 3-0 home defeat to Brighton on the opening weekend of the season. 

Questions also remain over Everton's attacking output after scoring just 40 goals last season, though the wage package Sterling will demand will likely put off Everton from exploring any potential deal.

The bitter nature of his departure from Liverpool in 2015 may also leave the 29-year-old hesitant about moving back to Merseyside this summer. 

Odds Now's Pick for Raheem Sterling's next club

Juventus are the one club on this list who have made a concrete move for Sterling. 

Federico Chiesa also looks to be on the brink of a move away from Turin after reportedly being banished from the club's training facilities ahead of the new season. 

While Chelsea were unable to reach an agreement for a potential swap deal last week with Juventus last week, the urgency to see both depart could push both clubs back to the negotiating table. 

Coupled with Sterling's wage package, which is likely to fend off any Premier League suitors, a move to 'Juve' looks most likely for the 29-year-old.
