Man City are ready to let go, Chelsea prepares a new offer

DBasia.news – Speculation regarding the future of Raheem Sterling is expected to soon show results. So far, communication between Manchester City and Chelsea has been positive.

Rumors of Sterling’s departure from Man City began to strengthen in the last two weeks. Reportedly, Sterling may leave to obtain more playing time.

Man City recruited Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez this summer. This means that internal competition for the striker position will be increasingly fierce.

Sterling has had problems with playing consistency in the last one or two years. Of course, the arrival of players at the level of Haaland and Alvarez can be challenging.

Sterling’s name was linked with a number of clubs, including Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, in the past week, Chelsea were the ones serious about targeting Sterling.

According to information, Man City opened up opportunities to sell Sterling, but of course only for a high price. Moreover, now Sterling is still playing at a fairly high level.

The problem is, selling Sterling to Chelsea could be a bad decision for Man City. Chelsea is one of the strongest rivals in the Premier League, releasing Sterling means strengthening the rival directly.

Most recently, Monday (27/6/2022), Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Chelsea were preparing a second offer for Sterling. The Blues have done a wave check with the first offer, but Man City still refused.

Even so, negotiations are still very open. Man City are ready to release Sterling if they obtain the right amount.

Chelsea, on the other hand, feel confident they can obtain Sterling’s signature. Thomas Tuchel has eyed Sterling as one of his priorities this summer.

Therefore, Man City and Chelsea’s negotiations for Sterling should have made significant progress this week. Man City may strengthen direct rivals for next season.
