Chelsea feels confident to sign Raheem Sterling for £35 million

Chelsea’s board is increasingly confident to recure Raheem Sterling for just £35 million, even though Manchester City paid €64 million back in 2015 to sign the player from Liverpool.

Raheem Sterling has become one of the most lethal wingers in the Premier League and arguably Europe since his move to Manchester City. Being one of the first signings of Pep Guardiola, the winger has managed 339 games for City since joining. Scoring 131 times and assisting another 95.
