When Raheem Sterling should be announced as a Chelsea player
Romelu Lukaku arrived in Milan Tuesday afternoon to a hero’s welcome. Inter fans were waiting to serenade him with his own name, just in case the Belgian had forgotten it. The Inter supporters should see that Lukaku checks his luggage to ensure he hasn’t forgotten his playing boots. They were missing at Chelsea for large parts of 2021/22. In all seriousness, good luck to the striker during his temporary spell away from Stamford Bridge. And that loan is costing the Italians approximately £6.9million; a medical is expected for Wednesday.
If rumours are to be believed, the Blues‘ main priorities are to strengthen the central defence area, along with the winger or support attacker role. The main centreback target was Sevilla’s Jules Kounde for quite some time, we are given to understand. However, according to Nizaar Kinsella of Goal, Matthijs de Ligt is now the primary wanted man. Timo Werner might perhaps be used as a sweetener in any prospective agreement for the Juventus man. Offloading the German to assist in acquiring the Dutchman would likely ensure a great boost to the CFC squad. I envision de Ligt to be a colossus at the Bridge, should be join.

When Raheem Sterling could be unveiled as a Chelsea player
The aforementioned potential swap also means Thomas Tuchel has more space on the roster to sign further deadly forwards. Speaking of wingmen, the West London club are linked with numerous excellent and practical choices in that position. In fact, there may be a couple of new signings by the weekend or the beginning of next week.
Pride of London shall discuss Raheem Sterling shortly because he could be unveiled as a Chelsea player very soon. Talks are said to be gathering pace between the Blues and Manchester City with regard to the England international. In addition, two of the Citizens’ defensive backups are being targeted for transfers by Tuchel, as well.
What would the CFC faithful think to having academy graduate Nathan Ake back in the side, or as a specialist left centreback understudy? Not to mention another left-footer from City, Oleksandr Zinchenko. Todd Boehly and the head coach have discussed the trio, claim Daily Mail. It feels unlikely that Pep Guardiola would allow the three to go to a rival in preseason. Uless Guardiola considers them entirely unworthy for his outfit at Etihad Stadium.
In my opinion, Ake could be an astute re-sign for a low price, if he agreed not to be guaranteed starts. While Zinchenko is a footballer I’ve often thought deserves a regular starting XI place in a decent Premier League team. Whether that is with a club as influential as Chels’ is debatable; a fit Ben Chilwell will probably solidify the spot.
However, it appears Leeds United wideman Raphinha shall be the initial first team addition on Fulham Road. The Brazilian was given a lucrative offer, and Leeds have supposedly accepted a bid.
Sterling’s deal is another seemingly nearing completion. On Tuesday, The Times asserted that the former Liverpool player could be captured by the weekend. Furthermore, the outlet indicate that he is wanted for the start of training on Saturday. A front three consisting of Sterling, Kai Havertz and Raphinha sounds delicious.

Meanwhile there is a possibility one or more will be allowed to depart. Hakim Ziyech, Werner, Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi have all being mentioned as uncertainties in recent times.
