However, Chelsea has not yet set a price for Sterling's departure, which is hindering the transfer process. The club wants to move him on, but they have not disclosed their terms.
Fulham is willing to wait until the upcoming deadline to see if they can acquire Sterling at a lower fee. A loan arrangement is the most likely option for the team.
Fulham is in a good position, knowing that Sterling prefers to stay in London for the rest of the season. Chelsea, on the other hand, is eager to clear Sterling's salary from their books.
