Feyenoord signs Raheem Sterling as a free agent

The Dutch football club Feyenoord officially announced the signing of English international forward Raheem Sterling on Thursday, February 13. The 31-year-old joins the Rotterdam-based team as a free agent following his departure from Chelsea. Reports regarding the contract length vary, with one source stating it lasts until the end of the current season and another indicating a duration until the end of the 2025/26 season. Sterling, who has 82 appearances for England and four Premier League titles, has previously played for Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal. Feyenoord manager Robin van Persie reportedly played a significant role in securing the transfer due to their shared history in the English Premier League. Sterling is scheduled to arrive in Rotterdam on Friday to join team training and meet his new teammates. As a free agent, he was able to sign outside the standard transfer window periods.
