According to journalist Nicolo Schira, Chelsea have been in contact with Raheem Sterling and have agreed personal terms with the England international. The winger has decided to leave Manchester City after spending seven years and winning four Premier League titles with the Mancunian side.

The hopes are high in the Chelsea camp of landing the Englishman as new co-owner Ted Boehly has taken over the negotiations. The Blues are aware of Manchester City's intention of selling Raheem Sterling and want to cash in on that.

With the winger not signing a new contract and his current deal expiring next year, Man City are looking to sell the winger. It is understood that the club have lowered their asking price for the 27-year-old and will now accept bids in the range of £45m instead of the first reported £60m.

Raheem Sterling has been an important part of Pep Guardiola's plans but with new arrivals and the winger wanting more minutes, the Catalan is open to his star winger leaving.
