I was treated badly by Enzo Maresca before I left but now that Maresca is gone I’m willing to return back to Stamford Bridge now because this is my home and there’s no way I’ll run away from Home”, Another Chelsea player who left because of Maresca then is now set to return next week

Newcastle United’s interest in Raheem Sterling is waning, with sources indicating the winger is no longer a priority in the January transfer window. Eddie Howe’s squad is replete with talent in the wide areas, thanks to the exploits of Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, and Jacob Murphy, rendering a Sterling acquisition an unlikely proposition.

Financial Constraints
Chelsea’s eagerness to offload Sterling is palpable, but his hefty wages are proving a significant obstacle. Newcastle is unwilling to shoulder the burden, and Chelsea may need to consider subsidizing his exit or exploring a loan deal. Meanwhile, Leeds and West Ham are circling, but any deal hinges on Sterling’s willingness to take a pay cut.

Squad Synergy
With Gordon, Barnes, and Murphy flourishing, and Anthony Elanga waiting in the wings, Newcastle’s wide area is well-stocked. Adding Sterling would disrupt the squad’s equilibrium, something Howe is reluctant to do mid-season. The Magpies are content with their current setup, and Sterling’s services are unlikely to be pursued further, leaving him to explore alternative avenues.
