London's “Chelsea” is nearing its first purchase this summer. Various sources report that “Chelsea” is very close to reaching an agreement with “Manchester City” club to acquire Raheem Sterling. David Ornstein from “The Athletic” claims that R. Sterling has already reached an agreement with the “aristocrats”, and they should soon reach a final agreement with the Manchester club. The transfer fee is expected to be around 45 million pounds sterling. R. Sterling was one of “Chelsea” coach Thomas Tuchel's targets this summer to strengthen the attack. The striker scored 16 goals and provided 7 assists in the Champions League and the Premier League last season. In 2015, the Englishman moved from “Liverpool” to “Manchester City”.
