Chelsea are closing in on the signings of Raheem Sterling and Nathan Aké from Manchester City. Sterling is expected to leave City for £45m plus £10m in add-ons and Aké is understood to be close to agreeing personal terms on a return to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea’s owners are working hard to strengthen Thomas Tuchel’s squad before the start of the season. It is likely that between £40m and £45m will be enough for them to land Aké, five years after the Dutch centre-back left Chelsea for Bournemouth. City, who bought Aké from Bournemouth in 2019, are not expected to stop the Netherlands international from leaving.
