Chelsea’s prospective signing of Raheem Sterling is likely to go down well with current squad members as the Blues line up a summer transfer.
It is understood that Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of the England international and Chelsea are considering a £35million bid to test Manchester City ’s resolve. However, the Premier League champions are only willing to accept an offer in the region of £60m.
The west London side are yet to make a signing since Todd Boehly completed his £4.25bn takeover in May and Tuchel is eager to strengthen his squad this summer. The German is a keen admirer of Sterling’s abilities and is keen to bring the 27-year-old, who has scored 131 goals for City, to Stamford Bridge.
