The chapter of Raheem Sterling and Joao Felix at Chelsea football club could be officially over before the start of the 2025/26 season.
Transfer news expert, Fabrizio Romano confirmed that both players will not be part of Chelsea’s squad that will be travelling to the United States for the Club World Cup. According to him Chelsea are looking for a way to sell both players before the summer transfer window closes.
Joao Felix joined AC Milan on loan during the 2025 January transfer window while Raheem Sterling left for Arsenal earlier in the season. However, both players were not impressive for their respective clubs during their loan spells.
Joao Felix’s number 14 jersey will be worn by Dario Essugo who was signed by the Blues this summer from Sporting for £18.8million, and will be part of Enzo Maresca’s squad for the upcoming Club World Cup.
Notable names that have worn the jersey number in the past include Andre Schurrle, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Tiemoue Bakayoko. Academy graduates Fikayo Tomori and Trevoh Chalobah both carried the mantle in previous years.
