Chelsea now have a decision to make over the winger’s future, with his deal running until June 2027.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider about whether Chelsea could terminate Sterling’s deal, Borson said: “Look, I think that’s the most likely scenario, but we’re not close to the conversation.
“The contract’s worth something like £40million probably with all of the signing on, with everything that’s left, with a player that’s saying I don’t want to leave, you want me to leave, he’s probably got something like £40million left in his contract.
“But it feels like £25million at least really, doesn’t it?”
