Raheem Sterling Had Payslip 'Leaked' After Leaving Car at Garage

Raheem Sterling's payslip was said to have been 'leaked' on social media after being left in his car when it was taken to the garage.

Sterling has racked up 396 Premier League appearances for a plethora of clubs, scoring 123 goals and registering 65 assists for his teammates.

His best form came under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, having joined from Liverpool in 2015 for a fee of £49 million when Manuel Pellegrini was at the helm.

Sterling scored 131 times for City, winning four Premier League titles in seven seasons at the Etihad Stadium.

He more than justified his hefty contract, which appeared to have important details leaked back in 2019 when he was at City.

The document widely circulated on social media contained Sterling's name and City as his employer, with tax code and national insurance scribbled out.

The payslip is said to have been left in his vehicle when someone stumbled upon it and posted it online for all to see.

The form appeared to show many figures, including Sterling's basic pay and loyalty bonus.

Sterling supposedly had a net pay of £1,160,634.94 for one month, made up of £708,333.33 basic pay as well as a loyalty payment which amounted to £1,500,000.

Before tax, the amount stood at £2,208,333.33 but significant deductions were made, with a monumental tax bill of £5.4 million on top of his national insurance cut.

City or Sterling have never verified whether the payslip is legitimate.

Sterling left City for Chelsea in a £47 million switch in 2022 and spent last season on loan at Arsenal.

He returned to Chelsea in the summer but was exiled from the first-team and failed to secure a move before the window closed.

With no future at Stamford Bridge, Sterling is banned from the club's training ground and has instead been training alone and spending his time coaching youngsters in his academy.

Sterling targeted in burglary

Chelsea are currently supporting the England international after he was the victim of a home invasion attempt when masked men tried to enter his Berkshire property at around 6:30pm on Saturday.

According to The Telegraph, Sterling, his partner Paige Milian and their children were at home but were unharmed.

A spokesperson for the player told the newspaper: "We can confirm that Raheem Sterling was the victim of a home break-in this weekend. We can also confirm that he and his children were present at home at the time. Whilst the ultimate violation of privacy and safety, we are thankful to be able to confirm that he and his loved ones are all safe. We ask that the privacy of Raheem and his loved ones be respected at this challenging time.”

Thames Valley Police have also launched an investigation after a second incident where Sterling's residence was targeted.

Generating interest from Manchester United and Bayern Munich in the summer, Sterling still has two years remaining on his £300,000-a-week Chelsea deal.
