Chelsea reach FULL AGREEMENT with Leeds for Raphinha, Petr Cech QUITS Blues senior role, Sterling latest – updates

Amazingly, CHELSEA and Leeds United have achieved a FULL AGREEMENT over Raphinha.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the West London team outbid Arsenal and are currently negotiating on a personal basis with the Blues.

This could mean Chelsea pulling the plug on their interest in Manchester City ace Raheem Sterling this summer.

The England international is seeking regular first team football and he is thought to be keen on finding that at Stamford Bridge.

And Petr Cech has QUIT his senior role as technical and performance adviser leaving the door potentially open for Maxwell or Michael Edwards.

City is willing to sell Sterling

Raheem Sterling has been informed by Manchester City that a bid for him will be considered.

The Premier League champions know they are fighting a losing battle but still want to maintain the Chelsea target.

Sterling, 27, is eager to transfer to London and Chelsea is likely to make a £50 million offer for him this week.

City is still hopeful Sterling will agree to a new deal, but if the offer is reasonable, they may consider it.

The England international is worried about how much playing time he will get at the Etihad next season despite having one year left on his current contract.

He may become a free agent next year, but he desires to play as much as he can before the World Cup.
