Raheem Sterling will be free to leave Chelsea this summer, according to manager Enzo Maresca.
The England international joined the Blues two years ago but has often struggled for consistency during his time at Stamford Bridge.
Sterling was left out of the squad on Sunday as Chelsea lost 2-0 to Manchester City in their Premier League opener.
His camp then released a statement saying they wanted ‘clarity’ over his future at the club.

Now, speaking ahead of Chelsea’s UEFA Conference League clash with Servette, Maresca has confirmed the winger is free to leave.

“As I said, the situation, with both of them is quite clear, there is not any update on the situation.”
When asked if he was being brutal, he added: “Brutal? I don’t think so I just had to try to be honest.
