Chelsea are down to the final details of a £45m move for Raheem Sterling, with the attacker expected to go on the pre-season tour to the United States, but are facing up to frustration in a race with Bayern Munich on Juventus' Matthijs de Ligt.
While Sterling has agreed personal terms and is excited about a move back to London with the club, De Ligt is understood to currently prefer a move to Germany with the Bundesliga champions.
