Meanwhile, just 9,125 voters believe Sterling should swap light blue for royal blue this summer, with many ignoring the current world champions in their bid to become title contenders again. This meant that 12,001 voted for Sterling to stay at City, where he has become so successful throughout his career with four Premier League titles, an FA Cup and four Carabao Cup titles.
Of course, how Sterling’s Chelsea career will play out is anybody’s guess given that he is likely to be used in a role other than the one he plays at the Etihad Stadium, although Lukaku is likely to leave , it looks like Sterling will be used as an inside forward with Kai Havertz operating in a false nine role. This could have an impact on his reputation – if the move fails to impress, many will question Sterling’s reasons for leaving England’s most successful club over the past decade in his prime.
But with Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva fighting for places, Sterling could be left out of the first-team picture. If he wanted to copy Bale’s production at Real Madrid, Sterling would be seen as an unwavering success at the Santiago Bernabeu.
