Big surprise on the transfer market: Raheem Sterling is restarting his career… in the Netherlands. Free after terminating his contract with Chelsea FC at the end of January, the English winger is bouncing back where few expected him: at Feyenoord Rotterdam.
A serial champion with Manchester City — 11 trophies including 4 Premier League titles — Sterling closed the London chapter by mutual agreement with Chelsea after three and a half seasons. Wanted by several English clubs, tracked in Italy and even mentioned in Germany, the 80+ cap international had plenty of options.
A bold career reboot in Rotterdam
Tottenham, West Ham, Napoli, Bayern… all were mentioned. But in the end, Rotterdam won the race.
Convinced by coach Robin van Persie’s vision, Sterling chose an ambitious project and a central role. He signed a contract running until the end of the 2025–2026 season. Clear message: new challenge, new leader, new mission.
A massive marketing move for Feyenoord — and a high-stakes gamble for Sterling, who is determined to prove he has lost none of his explosiveness.
