From 160 million euros to 10 million euros! The British Emperor Star has become a "high salary and low ability", and there is no ball to play?

Football

On the changing stage of football, the ups and downs of the players' fates always attract the attention of fans. The once glorious England winger Sterling is now in a huge dilemma in his career.

30-year-old Sterling was supposed to be a prime time in a player's career, but he failed to find a new club this summer and had to stay at Chelsea. But a while has passed in the new season, and he has not yet obtained a chance to play, so he has basically been "shelfed" by the team. Because the summer window failed to transfer successfully, Sterling can only train alone now and cannot practice with the first team. She can only hope that the winter window will open in January to see if there will be a new turning point.

Looking through the data of Deyuan, it is really sad. Now Sterling's net worth is only 10 million euros, but who would have thought that when he played for Manchester City five years ago, he was worth as high as 160 million euros! In the 19-20 season, he played 54 games for Manchester City, scored 33 goals in a crazily manner, and contributed 5 assists. He is definitely the core thigh on the team's forward line, helping the team overcome obstacles in various competitions.

However, in the 21-22 season, Sterling made a decision to change his career trajectory - leaving Manchester City and joining Chelsea. In the two seasons of 22-23 and 23-24, he played 81 games for Chelsea. Although he also scored 19 goals and 12 assists, he was obviously far from his highlight performance at Manchester City.

What's worse is that he was loaned to Arsenal last season. He thought that he could get back in shape after changing the environment, but the result was a disappointment. In Arsenal's 28 appearances, he only scored one goal in the League Cup, and in the fiercely competitive Premier League, he failed to score a goal. After the loan period ended, Arsenal sent him back to Chelsea without hesitation.

Sterling is not interested in the transfer market, and the main "critical" is his salary. According to British media reports, he currently holds the highest weekly salary in Chelsea, up to 325,000 pounds, which discourages many interested teams. Comparing other high-paid players in Chelsea, Rees James has a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds, Wesley Fofana has a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds, Enzo has a 180,000 pounds, and Cucurella has a 175,000 pounds. Sterling has a fault-like salary, but his performance is not worthy of this high salary.

Although many clubs have expressed interest in Sterling in the past few months, there has been no substantial progress in the negotiations due to various reasons, especially salary issues. Moreover, according to TA, Sterling is not interested in transferring to Türkiye, Saudi Arabia or the Major League Soccer League, and he currently has two years of contract with Chelsea.

The former British Emperor Star was rushing on the court, bringing countless wonderful moments to the fans. But now he is in an embarrassing situation of no ball to play due to his declining condition and his salary is too high. I wonder if Sterling can seize the opportunity, find a new destination, and prove himself again in the next winter window?
