Chelsea are in talks to sell Hakim Ziyech to AC Milanas they pave the way to bring in Raheem Sterling from Manchester City.
Milan have a long-held interest in Ziyech and Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is open to the sale if the clubs can agree on a fee while the 29-year-old may also need to take a pay cut to push the move through.
Tuchel has spoken to Sterling who City value around £60m and wants to bring him to Stamford Bridge as part of his new-look attack.
The 27-year-old England international is weighing up his options and wants to make a decision within the next two weeks so that he is able to start pre-season training with his new club should he leave.
City want to recoup cash to offset their £45m spend on Kalvin Phillips plus another £40m anticipated on Brighton’s Marc Cucurella.
They have made a contract offer to Sterling but equally are open to selling him, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal who will bring in £50m.
Apart from Sterling, Chelsea are prioritising two centre backs and a full back. Sevilla’s Jules Kounde is their prime target while discussions have taken place with Juventus over a possible deal for Matthijs de Ligt
