Liam Rosenior to talk to Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi about Chelsea exile

Rosenior will decide this January if Sterling and Disasi will be loaned, sold, or reintegrated as Chelsea manage squad and UEFA transfer restrictions.

  • On Jan 13, 2026 Liam Rosenior, Chelsea head coach, said he intends to hold talks with Raheem Sterling, forward, and Axel Disasi, centre-back, stating `I will have conversations with them`.
  • Both players were left training apart from the first team and transfer-listed after being signed for £47.5m and £38.5m respectively and freezing out under Enzo Maresca.
  • Under Uefa 'positive transfer balance' requirements, Chelsea must offset any incoming deals with outgoings, and FIFA limits mean they can have only six overseas loans, complicating moves for Sterling and Disasi.
  • Rosenior, in his fourth day, will evaluate the inherited squad and consult the Chelsea recruitment team before deciding on reinforcements amid preparations for Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge vs Arsenal.
  • Disasi prefers a permanent exit and Chelsea expect bigger signings in the summer, including £40m Sporting winger Geovany Quenda, while Sterling hopes Fulham and other interested clubs step up this month.
