Chelsea set to bid for Raheem Sterling as Thomas Tuchel chases transfer :

Marina Granovskia had her initial bid and inquiry for Manchester City starlet Raheem Sterling buffed as the club hold outs for more money from Chelsea although he has only 1 year left on contract.

With Marina leaving the club last week and Petr Cech officially announcing his departure today, it’s clear transfer negotiations are being ran by Chelsea part owner and Chairman Todd Boehly before the appointment of a new Sporting Director.

Sterling is a priority at the moment and we can see both clubs compromising here in the near future with the part owner heavily involved.

According to credible sources, Thomas Tuchel has already called Sterling about working with him. It’s reported that the player has already asked people “what life is like at Chelsea” as they hash out personal terms of his contract.

Manchester City are expected to demand around 45-55m GBP for Sterling.
