Chelsea are to step up their interest in Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling once Romelu Lukaku completes his return to Internazionale
and, with Sterling’s contract due to expire next summer, the Premier League champions are prepared to cash in on him. It has been suggested they want £50m-£60m.
Sterling’s ability to play across the frontline makes him an attractive option to Tuchel. Chelsea are aware it will not be easy to replace Lukaku, who disappointed after his £97.5m move, with another target man. Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski wants to join Barcelona, City have landed Haaland and Liverpool have bought Darwin Núñez.
Sources say it is a matter of time before Lukaku rejoins Inter. Todd Boehly, Chelsea’s new owner, has backed Tuchel’s decision to part with the striker. Lukaku does not fit Tuchel’s system and has not enjoyed an easy relationship with the German.
