Raheem Sterling Next Club Odds: Napoli Favourites To Sign Winger
Raheem Sterling faces an uncertain future, and betting sites are offering odds on where he will end up next.
Sterling was one of the Premier League’s best players during his time at Manchester City, where he won four titles and a host of other honours.
However, he has struggled to replicate that success elsewhere, making minimal impact at Chelsea before an underwhelming loan spell at Arsenal last term.
Sterling is now back at Stamford Bridge, where Enzo Maresca has no plans to include him in his squad for the upcoming campaign.
The forward is expected to move on before the summer transfer window closes, but where might he end up?
Let’s take a look at some of the contenders for Sterling’s signature, according to football betting sites.
Napoli In Pole Position As Things Stand
Antonio Conte has made a habit of bringing Premier League players to Serie A, first with Inter and now with Napoli.
Having already signed Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour and Kevin De Bruyne, Sterling is said to be the next name on the Italian’s shopping list.
Reports state that Conte has given the green light to the prospective deal after Sterling was offered to Napoli.
Raheem Sterling's Next Club Odds
Club | Odds | Probability |
Napoli | 5/6 | 54.5% |
Fulham | 8/5 | 38.5% |
Juventus | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Bayer Leverkusen | 4/1 | 20% |
Newcastle United | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Leeds United | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Crystal Palace | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Any Saudi Club | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Any MLS Club | 14/1 | 6.7% |
However, much will depend on whether the Serie A champions are successful in their pursuit of Dan Ndoye, who is also a leading target for Nottingham Forest.
Nevertheless, Napoli are still odds-on favourites to sign Sterling at 5/6.
Fulham Offer Chance To Stay In London
Sterling was raised in London but did not play professionally for a club in the capital until he joined Chelsea in 2022.
The winger has spent the last three years living in London and may prefer not to relocate, which gives Fulham a chance to sign him.
The Cottagers are second in the betting at 8/5 according to betting apps.
They will try to persuade Sterling by highlighting the status of the Premier League as the most competitive league in the world, although they do not have European football to offer.
Juventus In The Mix
It has become increasingly common in recent years for English players to move overseas, and Juventus are another foreign side thought to be eyeing a swoop for Sterling.
Like Napoli, Juve are in the Champions League in 2025/26, offering Sterling a potential route back to the pinnacle of the club game.
The Chelsea man has been linked with Juve in recent weeks, with the Italian giants keen to bolster their attack as they aim to mount a Serie A title challenge.
Chelsea’s asking price of £20million is affordable for Juventus, and Sterling may find it hard to turn down such a prestigious and historic club. Juve are priced at 2/1.
Leverkusen Could Enter The Race
Bayer Leverkusen are embarking on life after Xabi Alonso, with Erik ten Hag chosen as the Spaniard’s replacement.
Leverkusen have also lost some key players this summer, notably Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool, so there is work to do if they are to challenge for the Bundesliga title once again.
Leverkusen are reportedly weighing up a swoop for Sterling, who would bring experience to their frontline. However, the German side supposedly prefer a loan deal and would need Chelsea to subsidise Sterling’s wages.
They are therefore only dark horses at 4/1.
Newcastle In Need Of Reinforcements
The Magpies also face an uphill battle to keep hold of Alexander Isak, who has told the club he wishes to explore his options elsewhere.
It is vital that Eddie Howe’s squad is improved before the window closes at the beginning of September, and Sterling is a contender to move to St James’ Park at odds of 6/1.
Leeds Could Offer Lifeline
Leeds (8/1) could tempt Sterling as they seek an experienced attacker to spearhead their push for Premier League promotion. His pedigree and leadership could prove decisive in a promotion campaign.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace (10/1) would offer Sterling a chance to remain in the top flight while staying in London, close to family. Palace’s attacking system under Oliver Glasner may suit his style.
A move to any Saudi club (12/1) brings major financial incentives, while a switch to MLS (14/1) offers a lifestyle change and a leading role in a growing league, an attractive option for the later stage of his career.
