Ajax Declines Raheem Sterling’s Transfer Due to Cost and Fitness Concerns

omidbasir- Ajax has officially ruled out the potential signing of Raheem Sterling. Although the Englishman was offered to the club by his management, the financial demands were deemed too high for the Amsterdam-based team, according to sources from Voetbalprimeur.

Reports from England had suggested Ajax was interested in Sterling; however, the club decided to terminate discussions prematurely. This decision was primarily influenced by concerns regarding Sterling’s fitness, as he has not competed in an official match since May 2025. Furthermore, he has not participated in team training this season at Chelsea, where he had become surplus to requirements.

In a surprising turn of events, Feyenoord has announced the signing of Raheem Sterling. The English forward is now a free agent following the termination of his contract with Chelsea last month. This unexpected move has brought him to the Netherlands, marking a new chapter in his career after previously playing with top English clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool.
