New Delhi: As per the reports, Raheem Sterling has been transferred from Manchester City to Chelsea, though fans are waiting for an official announcement from Chelsea. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Raheem Sterling was the top priority for Chelsea, even ahead of Manchester United’s star forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 27-year-old has agreed on personal terms to be part of the blues. He will be with Chelsea on a five-year contract with an option of extension for 12 months. Sterling believes that he is in the decisive phase of his career and wants to make a significant contribution on and off the pitch. He will join Chelsea for an initial £47.5 million fee, with a further £2.5m in potential add-ons.
Chelsea was eyeing Sterling to be their marquee player. According to some reports, the club was eyeing to include at least two of the three marquee players namely, Cristiano Ronaldo, Raheem Sterling and Ousmane Dembele. Reports also say that Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester united and that Chelsea will be seeking to strike a deal with Man U.
