Chelsea are reportedly confident of closing a deal to sign Raheem Sterling from Manchester City this summer. According to Di Marzio, the eventual transfer fee could be around £35m to secure the 27-year-old.
Sterling has consistently been named as a player of interest for Thomas Tuchel this summer as new co-owner Todd Boehly hopes to fund an important rebuild for the German's squad ahead of the 2022/23 season.
The England winger only has one year left on his deal at Manchester City and rumours of his exit have been persistent over the past few windows. Chelsea appear the most likely should Sterling opt to remain in England, with Real Madrid potentially offering an alternative route out of the Etihad.
