Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has weighed in on the potential swap deal between Chelsea and Manchester United involving Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho. Both players are considered surplus to requirements at their respective clubs this season, making the rumored swap a notable topic.
Ferdinand, speaking on *Rio Ferdinand Presents*, expressed his support for the deal, suggesting that it could benefit both players and clubs. He noted that Sterling’s time at Chelsea has not been as successful as hoped, and a move for Sancho to Chelsea could be mutually advantageous. Similarly, he believes a change of scenery for Sancho could rejuvenate his career.
Ferdinand commented, “Things have not worked out for Raheem Sterling at Chelsea. If Sancho goes the other way, I think it works for both. I think they need a new chapter written in their careers, and I think it would work for both players.”
Reports indicate that Chelsea is interested in acquiring Sancho, while Sterling might be included in the swap deal. This potential transfer could address key needs for both teams, offering fresh starts for both Sterling and Sancho.
