Unai Emery wants to help Chelsea: He sets his sights on one of their discards

The Aston Villa managed by Unai Emery has set its sights on Raheem Sterling in the final days of the transfer market, hoping to close a deal that could surprise many. Chelsea, under the direction of Enzo Maresca, has made it clear that the English winger is not in their plans for this season, prompting the Birmingham side to start negotiations to secure Sterling's services as he seeks a new challenge after being sidelined from the London club's lineup.

Sterling, who has not had continuity in training since being excluded from the match against Manchester City, faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. Despite having three years left on his contract, the 29-year-old player has shown interest in a change of scenery, preferably permanent, although he does not rule out a temporary agreement if the obstacle of his high weekly salary of 325,000 pounds can be overcome.

Aston Villa Interested in Raheem Sterling

Aston Villa, which has already been in contact with Chelsea this summer for other signings, sees in Sterling a unique opportunity to strengthen its attack. However, the transfer is not without complications, as the player's high remuneration could be a hindrance, leading the club to consider different alternatives to facilitate his arrival.

Sterling has fallen down Chelsea's list of priorities following the signings of João Félix and Pedro Neto, and his desire to stay in the Premier League makes him an attractive candidate for Emery, who continues to seek quality reinforcements for his project at Villa Park. As the market closure approaches, both parties are working against the clock to find a solution that satisfies all involved.
