Bayer Leverkusen denies interest in Chelsea's Raheem Sterling transfer rumor

German sports journalist Florian Plettenberg has dismissed recent speculation linking Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling with a potential move to Bayer Leverkusen. The Sky Sports correspondent firmly rejected reports suggesting the Bundesliga champions held any genuine interest in acquiring the English international. Plettenberg described such a transfer as extremely improbable under current circumstances. Sterling's previous loan spell at Chelsea during the last campaign failed to meet expectations. The veteran forward, who previously represented Manchester City and Liverpool, appears unlikely to secure a move to the German club despite ongoing transfer window activity.
