Chelsea is reportedly still trying to find a new club for Sterling, who is no longer in the plan.
According to Sky Sports chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol, Chelsea is trying to reach an agreement with interested clubs so that the agreement can be submitted to Sterling and his advisers before the transfer window deadline on Friday.
Sterling is not participating in any club-to-club discussions now, and he is willing to participate in the negotiations after the club's constructive negotiations are over.
There is no guarantee that Sterling will leave before the deadline. On the official website of Chelsea Club, Sterling is still listed as one of the 33 first-team players, but he does not have a number.
