Manchester City forward has changed his mind over where his preferred transfer destination is this summer following interest from Chelsea.
The England international only has one year left on his contract at the Etihad, leading to speculation he could seek a move away from the club this summer. He had previously been linked with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona – but is now open to moving to Chelsea.
It comes as new Blues owner Todd Boehly is set to take control of two Chelsea transfers, including Sterling's, with chairman Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia confirmed they would be leaving the club. And Antonio Rudiger has shared the "key moment" he chose to sign for Real Madrid over staying at Chelsea.
