Not content with pursuing just Raheem Sterling, Chelsea appear to be plotting a double swoop of Manchester City stars this summer.
It appears that City centre-back Nathan Ake is high on Chelsea's wishlist, as Thomas Tuchel looks to rebuild his defence after a handful of departures. However, MEN Sport understands that, although Pep Guardiola has a general rule that players that wish to leave will be allowed to if they present an acceptable offer from another club, the Blues would not countenance letting the Dutch defender leave without both getting at least £50m for him and knowing that they can sign a replacement this transfer window.
Since arriving from Bournemouth for £41m in 2020, Ake has endured a difficult time in Manchester, a combination of injuries and patchy form preventing him from staking a convincing claim to a starting centre-back spot.
