Raheem Sterling offered to Union Berlin after leaving Chelsea, confirms club boss

Earlier this week, Chelsea confirmed that experienced England international Raheem Sterling's contract had been terminated by mutual consent.

Since then, the 31-year-old’s representatives have been searching for a new club for their client, with Union Berlin apparently among those approached.

Union Berlin managing director for professional football Horst Heldt confirmed the approach to Sky Germany, but explained that the club chose not to pursue it.

“In every transfer window, you’re confronted with names that make you rub your eyes. In this case, it just wasn’t serious, so we didn’t move forward,” Heldt said.
