Manchester City superstar Raheem Sterling ready to join Chelsea for £60 million on one condition - Reports
Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling. The west London club are keen to make Sterling their headline acquisition of the summer.
According to The Sun, Sterling is willing to move to Stamford Bridge if Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel can provide assurances regarding his role. The Blues were unable to mount a serious challenge for the Premier League title last season due to a lack of goals from their forwards.

The club could be provided with an enormous £200 million transfer budget by the club's new owners. The Blues are willing to shell out £60 million for the Sterling, as per the same report.
He has scored 131 goals in 339 appearances for the club and won four Premier League titles, four EFL Cups and a FA Cup. The 27-year-old enjoyed an impressive 2021-22 campaign, scoring 17 goals and providing nine assists in 47 appearances across competitions.
Manager Pep Guardiola is eager to keep hold of the England international. The 27-year-old has just one year remaining on his contract. However, contract negotiations between player and club have stalled, as per Metro.
