Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling is being linked with a move to Chelsea this summer.
Chelsea are interested in signing Raheem Sterling, according to the latest transfer speculation.
According to the Telegraph, Sterling could leave Manchester City this summer. The winger is out of contract at the end of next season, so this summer’s transfer window would represent one of the final opportunities for City to obtain a substantial fee for the England international. The story also suggests that Chelsea are weighing up a bid for the former Liverpool man.
However, football.london understands that despite the speculation, Chelsea are not expected to make attacking signings this summer unless players leave the club.
There are a number of Blues players whose futures are uncertain ahead of next season including Romelu Lukaku, Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic.
The 27-year-old scored 13 goals and registered five assists for City last season, a season in which Pep Guardiola’s side won the Premier League by one point ahead of Liverpool. So, what kind of impact could Sterling have at Chelsea next season, should he sign for the club?
We ‘signed’ Raheem Sterling for Chelsea this summer
To set up this simulation, we used the Football Manager 2022 editor to arrange for Sterling to join Chelsea at the start of the summer transfer window, using FM22 to run the simulation. We also transferred out Romelu Lukaku, Antonio Rudiger and others.
This is how Sterling performed under Tuchel in 2022/23. The forward was a key player for Chelsea, with the 27-year-old playing either behind the central striker or being a fluid false nine, and he produced some strong performances.
