Sterling, 30, is one player, alongside Ben Chilwell, Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga, Alfie Gilchrist, Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu, Armando Broja and David Datro Fofana, who failed to make the cut.
Chelsea are hoping to ship all of these players, with Broja and Ugochukwu set to join Premier League new boys Burnley.
Napoli, Fulham and Bayer Leverkusen have all been linked with a move for Sterling, although no official bid has been made.
Enzo Maresca’s side plays pre-season friendly matches against Leverkusen and AC Milan at home before starting their 2025/26 season with a visit from Crystal Palace on August 17th.
