According to an exclusive report from British media, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Raheem Sterling on a free transfer, and the player has accepted a substantial reduction in his salary.
Sterling recently terminated his contract with Chelsea and became a free agent, with his agent holding talks with multiple clubs. The report states that Tottenham have expressed their interest, but they are not the only contenders. West Ham United, Fulham and Crystal Palace have also joined the race for his signature. Due to family reasons, Sterling prefers to stay in London, which gives London-based clubs an advantage.
Sterling is willing to take a massive pay cut: he previously earned a weekly wage of €375,000 at Chelsea, and is now prepared to accept a contract worth less than a third of his original salary.
This flexible attitude has also attracted attention from overseas clubs, with Juventus, Napoli, Bayern Munich and Roma all monitoring the situation closely. Despite approaches from MLS sides, Sterling's priority remains to stay in top-flight football, with his ideal target being a club competing in the UEFA Champions League.
