Raheem Sterling: Man City forward subject of advanced talks with Chelsea

Raheem Sterling heads a list of Thomas Tuchel's attacking targets and is now in the final year of his contract with Man City; Chelsea looking for more firepower after Romelu Lukaku rejoined Inter Milan on loan.
Any deal between Chelsea and City solely lies on Sterling agreeing personal terms, and it's thought he would expect to outdo the salary he is currently on at City, in keeping with his status as one of the biggest attacking talents in the Premier League, in the prime of his career.
Sterling's relationship with Pep Guardiola and City remains very positive, with the Premier League champions happy to let the him leave so long as there is an acceptable bid in the region of £50m.
Sterling has only 1 year left on his current contract at the Etihad, with no plans for that to be extended.
Sterling would offer Tuchel a guaranteed threat - he has directly contributed a combined 165 goals in the division in 320 appearances for Liverpool and City - as well as tactical flexibility and experience. "Someone like Sterling who has already produced at a high level in the Premier League for many years, you can see why that would be attractive to Chelsea and, for Boehly, he's a big name. And at 27, he's someone you could still expect to be productive for several more years." - The Athletic's Liam Twomey
