In the last moments of the summer transfer window, Raheem Sterling, a star for Chelsea, declined the chance to sign with Champions League team Bayern Munich. Last season, Sterling was on loan at Arsenal, Chelsea’s Premier League London rivals. Since the summer, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has not included the England winger in his roster. Chelsea’s first team has been training apart from the former Liverpool playerThe 30-year-old was given a last-minute opportunity to sign for Bayern Munich, though, as the Bundesliga champions inquired about him while attempting to sign Chelsea attacker Nicolas Jackson on loan, according to The Athletic. However, the source also stated that Sterling turned down Bayern Munich’s offer because he was unwilling to move his family to Germany or spend a lot of time apart from them. Vincent Kompany, the manager of Bayern Munich, stated last week that he and Sterling will “always remain” close. During their four years as Manchester City colleagues, the pair won six major trophies, including the Premier League, at the Etihad Stadium.
