Wrapping up the Man City transfer news, rumours and gossip in the 2022 summer window. Man City expecting Chelsea bid for Sterling Manchester City are expecting to field an opening offer from Chelsea for Raheem Sterling after Thomas Tuchel engaged the England international over how he'd fit in at Stamford Bridge.
The forward heads a shortlist of the manager's attacking targets and enters the final year of his contract with the Premier League champions, who are grateful for his service and will not obstruct his desire for greater minutes and status elsewhere.
Pep Guardiola has repeatedly stated "I don't like to keep players that are unhappy" and is open to allowing Sterling's exit this summer, even to a rival, on condition that an acceptable bid in the region of £50m is tabled.
Manchester City have agreed a deal with Leeds for England midfielder Kalvin Phillips. The fee agreed is between £45m and £50m.
