Chelsea is set to agree on a transfer for star Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling on a £50 million fee, The Athletic’s David Ornstein reports. Sterling will reportedly sign a five-year deal that includes an option for a sixth season and is pending medicals.
Sterling played the first four years of his career with Liverpool before spending the past seven at Manchester City. In 11 Premier League seasons, Sterling has scored 109 goals, including a career-high 20 for City in the 2019–20 season.
The move was an expected outcome for Chelsea and Sterling after talks had reportedly increased over recent weeks, but still represents a major shift for Manchester City, who have now lost Sterling and striker Gabriel Jesus to top Premier League sides during this transfer window.
