Deal Almost Done: Chelsea finally reach agreement with Man City for Sterling

Chelsea have secured the signing of one of their targets this summer in the person of Raheem Sterling as the reports revealed the Blues have agreed on a deal with Manchester City for the Forwards.

This was confirmed by popular transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, on Saturday evening.

According to Romano, the Blues will pay a £45m fee plus £10m add-ons.

Sterling, who has already on agreed personal terms with Chelsea will sign a contract until 2027.

“Raheem Sterling to Chelsea, here we go! Final approval arrived from Man City. £45m fee plus £10m add-ons. Personal terms agreed days ago, it was never an issue. It’s done.

“Contract until 2027 plus option for further year. Tuchel already had a direct conversation with him,” Romano tweeted.

Sterling is the first major player the Blues will sign this summer and is expected to be a good replacement for Romelu Lukaku who struggled at Chelsea last season and forced a summer loan transfer to the Italian side Inter Milan.
