Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling has agreed personal terms with Chelsea and a confirmation of his move is now imminent.

The England international is in the final year of his contract with City, who will not block his desire for more minutes and status elsewhere.

City manager Pep Guardiola has previously said "I don't like to keep players that are unhappy" and is open to allowing Raheem Sterling exit this summer.

Sterling has directly contributed a combined 165 goals in 320 appearances for Liverpool and City. 

New Blues owner Todd Boehly had been in touch with City to discuss figures and the structure of a deal which is likely to be around AED 220 million.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is expected to bolster his attack following the exit of Romelu Lukaku returning to Inter Milan on loan.
