I don't know wheter it makes any difference in PSR and if it does it's significant difference or not. 

I think the clubs strategy was playing hard ball on him by letting him train alone, we were expecting he will get bored and accept a move to another team and take the wage cut as no English team was ever going to pay him even 30% of his current salary.

Perhaps the club finally accepted he will not agree to move anywhere and wanted to put end to this story, not let it circulate for 18 more months. (bad publicity, pressure from Fifpro etc)

I am sure he didn't accept one penny less than he was entitled in his contract. 

It should make a big difference because instead of losing a steady amount of money owning him per year, we're swallowing the entire loss on him early all in one go. Doesn't make any sense unless he's agreed to something.

Also, presumably he can discount future earnings from his new club from what he expects from us, because it will net out the same for him. That would include some kind of signing on fee.

Raheem Sterling has left the club after his contract was mutually terminated 

Mutually terminated should mine one thing, both agreed to terminate. No benefit for Chelsea to payout the contract, by Chelsea holding it til now forced him to terminate to play. Time was against him (so was the big contract)!

£50m for Strand Larsen to Palace. Fucking hell! I couldn’t tell you one thing he’s ever done and he’s going for £50m!

He took a discounted pay-out, per BBC:

Raheem Sterling has left Chelsea by mutual consent after reaching an agreement to end his contract early.

The 31-year-old had 18 months remaining on his £325,000‑a‑week deal.

Sterling leaves after three-and-a-half seasons at Stamford Bridge following his move from Manchester City for £47.5m in 2022.

Sterling will receive a payout from Chelsea, while the club will save money as the settlement will be less than the figure of over £20m he would have been paid had he stayed for the remaining year and a half of his contract.

He has not scored a goal from open play this season in the league and they are getting relegated. Palace are obviously desperate but they should be able to negotiate that fee down.

Nah, that’s literally what they’ve agreed to pay!

Matt Law saying Chelsea will try again this weekend to sign Jacquet immediately and the player's preference is to move to Chelsea now.
