Former Netherlands international Rene van der Gijp has urged Raheem Sterling to contemplate retirement following a difficult spell at Feyenoord. Van der Gijp made the comments on a popular football podcast, criticising Sterling’s performances since joining the Dutch club in February. He suggested the former England international’s extended lay‑off from competitive football has impacted his form.
Van der Gijp said he believes Sterling may be better off stepping away from professional football rather than struggling for form in the Eredivisie. The remarks have sparked debate among fans and pundits about the future of the 29‑year‑old winger’s career.
