DBasia.news – Good news from Chelsea, now they have finally secured their first signing in the 2022 summer transfer market.

That player is England winger Raheem Sterling. Manchester City, Sterling’s club, received a fee of 45 million pounds plus a 10 million pounds bonus from Chelsea. Sterling is contracted until 2027 and Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has spoken to the player straight away.

“Raheem Sterling to Chelsea, here we go! Final approval came from Man City. A fee of 45 million pounds plus an additional 10 million pounds. Personal terms were agreed a few days ago, it was never a problem. Done,” explained Romano.

“A contract until 2027 plus a year extension option. Tuchel has been in direct contact with him.”

Added by David Ornstein at The Athletic, Chelsea are now setting the schedule for Sterling’s medical tests in London. If all goes according to plan then Sterling could go on a pre-season tour with his new team-mates in the United States.

Sterling (27 years old) has played for City for 7 years with a record 131 goals from 339 matches. The former Liverpool academy player has won 4 Premier League titles, one FA Cup and 3 League Cups with Man City.

With the arrival of two new City signings, Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez, as well as players in Sterling’s position such as Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez, Sterling moved from the Etihad Stadium.

On the other hand, Sterling will be a big signing for Chelsea as Chelsea want to sharpen attacks on the wings. Besides Sterling, Chelsea are also competing with Barcelona in the hunt for Leeds United winger, Raphinha.
