This summer, speculations indicate that Chelsea is still in the running to capture Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese forward has requested to move on should a suitable offer be made, and it appears that he will leave Manchester United during the summer season.
For personal and family reasons, Ronaldo was also left out of the United preseason team for their trip to Thailand. It follows discussions between agent Jorge Mendes and Blues owner Todd Boehly over the 37-year-potential old’s transfer to the west London team.
After having trouble scoring this season, Thomas Tuchel is seeking for players to bolster his frontline. Romelu Lukaku has returned to Inter Milan on loan just one year after signing for a club-record sum, and other attackers are anticipated to quit the team as well.
Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling is set to be the first arrival, with both a fee and personal terms agreed for the Manchester City striker.
There have been reports about Raheem Sterling’s presence in London in the days leading up to his medical examination with Chelsea.
The Blues and Manchester City have negotiated a cost of £45 million (plus £10 million in add-ons) for the 27-year-old, who will be Todd Boehly’s first marquee signing at the club.
Sterling is poised to join Chelsea in the coming days, but he must first pass a medical. The England international will get his physical in London before flying to the United States to join his new Chelsea teammates.
