Raheem Sterling joins Feyenoord for rest of season after Chelsea exit

  • On Thursday, Raheem Sterling signed with Feyenoord after talks with manager Robin van Persie, agreeing to a contract until the end of the 2025-26 season.
  • Following his exit from Chelsea last month, Sterling became a free agent after agreeing a mutual termination, allowing him to join outside the January window.
  • Sterling's record shows 82 England caps, four Premier League titles, one FA Cup, four League Cups, and his last senior appearance was in May 2025 while training away from Chelsea first-team.
  • Feyenoord, currently second, will look to close the 17-point gap on PSV Eindhoven as Van Persie said Sterling can change games and boost their second-half goals.
  • Despite interest from 18 clubs, Feyenoord wanted Sterling to sign a longer-term deal but he preferred a short-term contract to keep options open beyond the summer.
