Chelsea could be one of the busiest clubs in the Premier League this summer with a lot of uncertainty in the first-team squad. Todd Boehly's early days at the club are likely to be dominated by transfer planning, with several high-profile names reportedly already in his sights.
Thomas Tuchel has already confirmed the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, but they may not be the last to leave. César Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso, Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, and Hakim Ziyech have all been linked with departures, and it remains to be seen what the first-team squad will consist of when the transfer window closes.
However, one name that could replace some of the attacking talents is Raheem Sterling. The Manchester City winger has been heavily linked with a move to west London in recent weeks, and with that in mind, football. London has taken a look at what the rumor mill is saying about him.
Whether £60m is too much for someone with little time on their contract is still debatable. Still, the sales club in this example has been vindicated for its price reported by the CIES Football Observatory. In their estimation, taking all factors into account, they have valued a player who has scored 131 goals in 339 for City in all competitions since moving from Liverpool in 2015 at between £43m and £60m.
According to Atletico, there is growing "confidence" that a deal can be completed shortly, with both sides believing an agreement can be reached. Sterling is set to enter the final year of his City contract. Still, reports vary on the potential cost to Chelsea, with estimates between £35m and £60m.
According to The Sun, Sterling wants assurances that he will be essential to Tuchel's plans at Stamford Bridge. The City star saw his playing time cut last season and would expect things to change if he moves south.
According to the Telegraph, Thomas Tuchel directly contacted Sterling about a summer move to Stamford Bridge. After earlier reports, the striker inquired about life at Chelsea and playing with the German manager.

Chelsea is increasing their interest in Sterling, according to the Telegraph. The London international only has one year left on his contract at the Etihad, leaving uncertainty about his future.
However, Chelsea is not the only one interested. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are also monitoring the situation.
