Chelsea 'are down to the final details' before confirming Sterling's £45m move

Raheem Sterling's £45million move from Manchester City to Chelsea is 'down to the final details', according to reports.

Sportsmail reported last week that City and Chelsea are nearing agreement for the England star.

And according to the Independent, those negotiations are approaching a conclusion as Sterling's transfer to Stamford Bridge edges closer.

And the west London side believe the deal will be wrapped up in time for the 27-year-old to join their pre-season tour in the US next week.

Sterling is said to be satisfied with the personal terms offered to him, and 'excited' about the opportunity to move back to London, where he lived from the age of five until he joined Liverpool in 2010 ten years later.

The £45m deal for the 77-cap international is thought to include up to £10m in further potential add-ons.

Sterling has scored 131 goals in 339 appearances in all competitions for Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions since joining from Liverpool in 2015.

The Independent also report Thomas Tuchel's side are willing to sell several attackers in a bid to reshape their squad.

They are said to be willing to listen to offers for Hakim Ziyech, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timo Werner.
