he posted:
BREAKING: Raheem Sterling to Feyenoord, here we go! Deal agreed with former Chelsea winger. Sterling joins Feyenoord as free agent.
The England international will now begin a new chapter in the Eredivisie, marking his first spell playing club football outside England.
Speaking after finalising the move, Sterling revealed that detailed conversations with Feyenoord head coach Robin van Persie were decisive in his choice. He explained that being a free agent allowed him, for the first time in years, to carefully control the next step of his career and assess where he could truly add value.
Sterling admitted that playing abroad represents a fresh challenge, but one he is fully ready to embrace as he looks to rediscover happiness and rhythm on the pitch.
Feyenoord were initially keen on a long-term agreement, but Sterling preferred a shorter deal at this stage of his career, prioritising enjoyment and the right environment.
Despite receiving approaches from 18 clubs across four top European leagues, Sterling ultimately felt Feyenoord was the best fit. His move comes just weeks after he left Chelsea with immediate effect, following a mutual agreement to terminate his contract after a difficult spell at Stamford Bridge.
Elsewhere, Manchester City kept up the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal with a commanding 3–0 win over Fulham at the Etihad Stadium, as goals from Nico O’Reilly, Antoine Semenyo and Erling Haaland secured all three points for Pep Guardiola’s side.
