Arsenal’s loan deal contains no purchase option. Most insiders expect Sterling to return to Chelsea this summer unless plans change.
According to fotnet24.net, neither Sterling nor his representatives have received clarity from Arsenal about his long‑term role. As of now, no discussions have taken place over his future beyond the current campaign.
Behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge, fotnet24.net reports Chelsea are set to sell Sterling rather than loan him again. The Blues have two years remaining on his contract and aim to complete a permanent sale without a payout. Looking ahead, Arsenal have identified Brentford centre‑back Nathan Collins, 23, as a defensive reinforcement; the Irishman leads the Premier League in blocks (48) and ranks second in headed clearances (115). Manchester United could also pounce for two targets ahead of the summer window, according to fotnet24.net.
