Raheem Sterling has agreed to join Chelsea FC as the club’s first signing.
The fee has not to be agreed upon, but the Manchester City forward wishes to move to Stamford Bridge.
The 27-year-old has one year left on his contract and would be Todd Boehly’s first significant signing as Chelsea’s owner.
Chelsea are said to be optimistic of reaching an agreement for Sterling, who is expected to be available for a bargain price with a year left on his current contract.
Sterling is said to have met with Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and wants to play for the German, who led his team to a Champions League victory over City in 2021.
Sterling, who joined City in 2015 for £49 million from Liverpool, has made 337 appearances and scored 131 goals.
