Speaking ahead of Saturday&rsquo;s Premier League clash with Brentford, Maresca revealed the pair have been isolated from the main squad since the start of the season.<\/p><p>Both Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi were expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer but saw potential moves collapse. Sterling rejected offers from Champions League clubs Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen, preferring a switch to another London side to remain close to family. Despite encouragement from Chelsea, no formal offers came from Fulham, Crystal Palace or West Ham. Notably, Raheem Sterling&rsquo;s &pound;325,000-per-week wages proved a significant barrier.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I Haven&rsquo;t Seen Either Raheem Sterling or Axel Disasi: Maresca<\/h2><p>French defender&nbsp;Disasi attracted interest from Sunderland, Bournemouth and West Ham, but all three deals fell through as he held out for a return to Monaco which never materialised.
