Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling rejected the chance to join Bayern Munich in the closing stages of the summer transfer window, according to reports.

Frank Leboeuf has sided with Chelsea outcasts Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi in the wake of stinging criticism from Enzo Maresca.

The Professional Footballers’ Association has contacted the club over the conditions the pair are working under this season after they were made surplus to requirements and isolated from the first team.

Neither was able to secure a move away from Stamford Bridge during the transfer window despite efforts being made to set up deals.

Maresca has not seen or spoken to either player this season and both have been kept entirely separate from the team, training and eating alone and at different times to the rest of the squad.

Sterling, who had an unsuccessful loan at Arsenal last season, still has two years to run on the £325,000-per-week deal he signed in 2022, whilst Disasi is under contract until 2029. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa.

‘My father is 75 years old, and for 50 years he has been a fisherman working from two o’clock in the morning until 10 o’clock in the morning,’ said Maresca. ‘This is sad in life. Not here the way (Sterling and Disasi) work.

‘I’ve been in Raheem’s situation and Axel’s situation as a player. I know that it’s not the best feeling, because if you’re a player it means you want to train and play.

‘But for different reasons, the situation is what it is in this moment. I know that the club is giving them the opportunity to work in the right way, and this is the only thing I can say.’

Former Chelsea defender Leboeuf, however, refused to condone the actions of his former club having experienced the loneliness of being exiled during an unhappy spell with Marseille during the late stages of his playing career.

He told ESPN FC: ‘He’s (Maresca) right first of all in it’s many clubs, not just Chelsea in that situation.

‘I have known that when I was playing for Marseille so like four or five players being in what we used to call the cupboard. You are there and stuck and you don’t even train with the first team. That’s not normal, that’s not fair.

‘For Disasi and Sterling they signed a contract so the club at the time wanted them and now they’ve been rejected while they are still under contract. It shouldn’t be allowed to work that way, it shouldn’t be allowed that clubs have so many players that they have to reject some that they decided to sign.

‘I cannot agree with what Maresca said and again it’s not only about Chelsea. We are talking about human beings and mental health. The fact you have a dignity. We are talking about international players with Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi.

‘If you don’t want them you make sure you find them a club or they are allowed to train with the first team. That should be your punishment as a club. You decided to sign them, they didn’t come randomly. I’m going to defend the players and I will do so until my last breath.’

Raheem Sterling has literally been left out in the cold this season by Chelsea as the most high-profile member of the club’s infamous &#8216…

Enzo Maresca insists there is no way back for Raheem Sterling at Chelsea.

Sterling spent last season on loan at Arsenal but struggled to make an impact during his stint with Mikel Arteta’s side.

The 30-year-old held talks to join Fulham in the summer transfer window but ended up staying at Stamford Bridge.

Throughout the summer, Sterling has trained away from Chelsea’s first-team squad and although he has been included in the club’s Premier League squad, Maresca is clear over the winger’s future.

‘First of all, they are Chelsea players and have contracts with the club, but at this moment they are still training apart,’ Maresca said.

‘Since the start of the season, I haven’t seen them.

‘I did see Renato Veiga but they train on a different pitch at a different time.’

Axel Disasi and David Datro Fofana are also training away from Chelsea’s first-team squad alongside Sterling.

When asked if there is any way back for the three players at Chelsea, Maresca replied: ‘No.’

Speaking earlier this week, Disasi revealed that he was keen on a return to Monaco this summer having initially left the Ligue 1 side to join Chelsea in a £38.5m deal two years ago.

‘In the period between the approaches from Bournemouth and West Ham, Monaco arrived and that hit me emotionally,’ Disasi told La Media Carre.

‘I had three incredible years at Monaco. When they came in, all the memories came back. Monaco is home.

‘I hoped that Chelsea would find a solution to allow me to leave on loan. I pushed until the last minute to go to Monaco.’
