The Telegraph report that Raheem Sterling was the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia at the end of the last season.
The forward was offered a huge salary package that would have made him among the three highest-paid footballers in the world, behind only Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, the Englishman turned down the offer as he was not ready to ‘call it quits’ on Chelsea after one frustrating season.
The 29-year-old hired a performance coach and trained with judo and rugby clubs to improve his fitness ahead of the current campaign.
However, his form has been inconsistent at best, with five goals and three assists across 22 league appearances.
