Raheem Sterling has reportedly agreed personal terms with Chelsea and is pushing for a move to the club. Transfer expert Nicolo Schira made the claim on his official Twitter handle.
Sterling has emerged as a shock transfer target for the Blues in recent weeks and could complete a move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
The 27-year-old has just one year left on his current deal with Manchester City and elected not to sign an extension with the club. The Premier League champions are keen to sell him this summer rather than lose him for free next year.
As per Metro , City have reportedly rejected Chelsea's initial bid of £35m and expect the Blues to submit an improved offer.
Raheem Sterling joined Manchester City from Liverpool in 2015, becoming the most expensive English player in history at the time (£44 million).
He has become an integral player at the Etihad in the last six years, scoring 131 goals and providing 95 assists in 339 matches across all competitions.
Sterling has played an integral role in helping the club win 10 major trophies and is undoubtedly a modern-day City legend. However, the England international has seen his role in the team reduce in recent seasons.
The arrivals of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez could further limit Sterling's playing time, which is not ideal in a World Cup year.
