Raheem Sterling has reportedly been offered to two clubs in France as the former Chelsea winger searches for the next move of his career.
The 31-year-old is currently looking for a new opportunity following an unsuccessful spell with Feyenoord last season, and his representatives have now turned their attention towards Ligue 1.
According to Foot Mercato, Sterling has been offered to two French clubs, including Le Havre.
Le Havre reject Sterling opportunity
Sterling's representatives are understood to have contacted Le Havre over a potential move.
However, the Ligue 1 club have decided against pursuing the former England international despite their difficult start to the season.
The identity of the second French club approached by Sterling's camp has not been revealed.
The winger is hoping that a move to France could provide an opportunity to revive a career which has stalled considerably in recent years.
Difficult period for former Manchester City star
Sterling enjoyed the best years of his career at Manchester City and has also represented Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.
He attempted to rebuild his career in the Netherlands last winter by joining Feyenoord on a short-term deal.
That move failed to have the desired effect. Sterling struggled for regular minutes and left the Rotterdam club at the end of the season.
His situation has since been complicated further by an off-field incident in England.
Sterling was arrested after his car crashed into a barrier, with footage subsequently emerging showing nitrous oxide canisters on his lap. The attacker pleaded guilty in an English court on September 15.
His immediate priority now appears to be returning to football.
France has emerged as one possible destination, although Le Havre have already closed the door on a move.
Key Points
- Raheem Sterling has reportedly been offered to two Ligue 1 clubs.
- Le Havre were approached but rejected the opportunity to sign the 31-year-old.
- The identity of the second French club has not been revealed.
- Sterling left Feyenoord after an unsuccessful short-term spell last season.
- The former Manchester City winger is looking for an opportunity to revive his career.
What’s Next?
Sterling's representatives will now need to determine whether the second unnamed Ligue 1 club is interested in progressing discussions.
At 31, the winger still possesses considerable experience at the highest level, but his recent lack of regular football could make finding the right club more complicated.
After spells with Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Feyenoord, a move to France would represent another new chapter in Sterling's career.
Le Havre will not provide that opportunity, but his representatives appear to be actively exploring the French market as Sterling looks to get back on the pitch.
