Raheem Sterling is reportedly prepared to reject Napoli’s interest in pursuit of moving to a Premier League rival.
The Chelsea misfit, who has been shut out of Stamford Bridge, is determined to stay in the capital for personal reasons, and Fulham is his top choice.
The 31-year-old is a top target for the Serie A powerhouses, who are presently led by former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, in order to increase their attacking options.
In an effort to help defend the Scudetto they won the previous season, Napoli, who are presently six points behind leaders Inter in the Italian top division, are seeking experienced reinforcements.

But according to rumors, Sterling’s top concern is keeping his family happy in the UK rather than pursuing trophies overseas.
At this point in his career, the England international, who earned 82 caps for his nation, is reportedly not interested in rearranging his life.
Sterling Willing To Stay In London
As a result, he intends to stay in London, according to Sky Sports as reported by Goal.
Sterling has determined that Fulham is the best place for him to land because of this regional inclination.
He could remain in his current residence if he moved to Craven Cottage, which would be a short trip from Chelsea’s Cobham training camp.
The link to Fulham seems to be the best way for Sterling to stay in the capital while avoiding his nightmare at Stamford Bridge, even as West Ham were also reportedly interested in the winger earlier in the transfer window.
