A new era in Chelsea also means a new look to the team. Thomas Tuchel has accepted all the previous changes at the top of the club and, in cooperation with the American businessman Todd Boehly, is working actively to reorganize the team, and the first signing at Stamford Bridge looks to be Raheem Sterling. In the last few days, assurances have been coming from the Island that Chelsea and Manchester City will agree on a transfer by the end of next week at the latest, because the negotiations in the past few days have been going at an accelerated pace and are moving towards a final agreement.🚨 Raheem Sterling has already reached an agreement with Chelsea on personal terms – as he turned down other clubs to work under Tuchel. Topskills confirmed. 🔵🤝 #CFC Chelsea will pay £45m, overall deal close to £55m + add-ons.Manchester City have accepted, pic.twitter.com/bFn2vV9QLO— Topskills Sports UK (@topskillssports) July 1, 2022 Allegedly, there is a belief on both sides that everything will be completed in the coming days at a price of 52 million euros. Sterling has a four-year contract ready to sign with a salary that will be similar to the one he has now at City – around 18 millions euros per year. The Blues have recently established official contacts with the Premier League champions, more precisely after speculation that the player wants to leave and end cooperation with Pep Guardiola due to earlier disagreements. There are reports that Sterling was in direct communication with Tuchel (with City’s permission) to find out his plans and what role was intended for him. After those talks, the fast-footed offensive player seems to have further cemented his wish to leave Etihad stadium.Chelsea want Heem – bringing the Man City winger is the new co-owner’s big wishChelsea intended to discuss with City the entire package of three players, that is, to work with Sterling on the arrivals of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Nathan Ake, but for now, the English offensive player is the first target. In defense, the Blues are trying to reach an agreement with Juventus with Matthijs de Ligt, although the job is not going easily, while the new name on Boehly’s wish list is Kalidou Koulibaly. Let’s remind you, the new owner of Chelsea is even thinking of starting a new trend in football and work in the market by introducing some kind of trade between clubs just like in popular American sports. Also, Chelsea is working on bringing Ousmane Dembele, whose contract with Barcelona recently expired.##NAJAVA_MECA_6485881##The arrival of Sterling would certainly open up space for parting ways with Hakim Ziyech. Although they are not players in the same position, the Moroccan has been unhappy at Chelsea for some time and wants a new challenge and AC Milan wants to give him that challenge. The well-known Italian journalist Gianluca di Marzio reports that Paolo Maldini held important talks with the new management of Chelsea this Friday and that the first signals are positive. The two sides have been in contact for the past few days, but they took on a new dimension on Friday as Ziyech made it clear that he intends to turn over a ’new leaf’. That is why Maldini wants to pressure Chelsea to release the Moroccan as soon as possible to make himself available to coach Stefano Pioli. In London they don’t mind, as long as the price is right. The management tandem of the Rossoneri, Maldini – Massara, believes that 25 million euros is enough, while Chelsea is asking for five million euros more. Chelsea and Milan have a good cooperation in recent years after the arrivals of Olivier Giroud, Fikayo Tomori and Tiemoue Bakayoko so the Italian are hopefull that the deal will be eventually agreed.
