Raheem Sterling to Chelsea? Four ways the Blues could line up next season with Man City star

Chelsea are seriously interested in signing Raheem Sterling from Manchester City this summer.

According to Sky Sports, Thomas Tuchel is a big admirer of Sterling and believes that he is more suited to Chelsea’s style of play than Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgium centre-forward signed from Inter Milan last season for a whopping £97.5 million fee, however the move hasn’t worked out as planned and it’s probable that he’ll return to Inter this summer through some form of loan arrangement.

That will free up space for Sterling, who has fallen out of favour slightly under Pep Guardiola and potentially isn’t getting the playing time he deserves.

In order for a deal to materialise it’s been reported that Chelsea would need to stump up a figure in the region of £60 million for the 27-year-old England international.

An amount which in today’s inflated market seems like more than a fair price given the quality Sterling possesses.

Although, regardless of the what City might expect, Sky in Italy have suggested that a mere £35 million initial offer will be tabled by the Blues.

In short, some added attacking quality. Sterling has been a revelation ever since he burst onto the scene at Liverpool as a 17-year-old, but over the past decade, and especially when under the guidance of Guardiola, Sterling has perfected his final product and is now capable of scoring goals for fun.

Last season he bagged 13 league goals despite starting much fewer matches than he previously would have.

In the 2019/2020 season he scored an impressive 20 Premier League goals. And the year before that he also registered a more than respectable 17.

This is significant for Tuchel, as Timo Werner has proven rather unreliable when it comes to hitting the back of
