Thomas Tuchel has had direct contact with Raheem Sterling over a move to Chelsea this summer, according to the Telegraph. The England international has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, amid uncertainty surrounding his future.
The 27-year-old has one-year remaining on his deal at the Etihad Stadium, raising questions over his stay beyond the next season. Despite the contract situation, the Citizens aren’t looking to let Sterling leave cheap, with Sky Sports reporting that they want upwards of £50million.
Reports have also suggested that the forward has asked around about what life is like at Stamford Bridge as well as playing under Tuchel. It comes ahead of a huge summer window for the German coach.
