Trent Alexander-Arnold is helping Thomas Tuchel in completing a deal for Raheem Sterling, who has been heavily linked with a move to the Stamford Bridge.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is poised to play a major role in whether Chelsea can pull off the signing of Raheem Sterling. The Manchester City forward has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, and the Liverpool defender looks set to ease his countryman’s transition.
According to football.london, Sterling’s negotiations with the West Londoners are going well, and reports say Thomas Tuchel’s side and City have reached an agreement for £55 million, plus add-ons, for the 27-year-old’s services.
The England player has started preparing for life away from the Etihad after agreeing to sell his current home close to Manchester, according to The Mirror, with a move to the Blues seemingly in the cards this summer. According to the report, Alexander-Arnold has been in talks to buy Sterling’s Cheshire home, which will likely cost the Reds star £4.5 million.
It is said that Alexander-Arnold presently lives on the same street as Paul Pogba, the Manchester United player who is set to leave the club, and Reds teammate Alisson Becker. However, the defender is apparently prepared to move in as Sterling is supposedly ready to exit City.
As Tuchel waits to make his first signing of the summer, it appears that a transfer to Chelsea is intensifying. According to the MailOnline, Todd Boehly, who finalized a £4.25 billion agreement to purchase the West London club last month, is anticipated to “push for A-list stars” to usher in a new era at Stamford Bridge.
According to The Telegraph, after player sales are taken into account, Tuchel will have £200 million available to him to bolster his team as the American billionaire is eager to strengthen the team. It’s believed that Boehly wants to close the gap between Chelsea and the Premier League’s front-runners City and Liverpool as part of his mission to improve the club.
And the best way to do that is by signing one of Pep Guardiola’s top forwards. Erling Haaland has already moved to City, which will undoubtedly be a challenge for Chelsea this season.
