It has now been reported by Bobby Vincent of football.london that a fee of £45 million plus a further £10 million in add-ons has been reached.
The fee is said to be £55 million in total, with Sterling keen to make the switch to Stamford Bridge.
Despite the report stating that all is agreed, Fabrizio Romano revealed that conversations are still ongoing for the winger.
Tuchel has already discussed a potential move with Sterling this summer, promising him that he will be a key part of his Chelsea team going forward.
Speaking on the ‘Why Always Us Podcast’, Sam Lee of the Athletic hinted that a deal had already been completed.
He said: "I was speaking to somebody last week who reckons (Gabriel) Jesus (to Arsenal) and Sterling are both done.
“We're all very cautious of that word done in the transfer industry because it could mean anything, but it certainly seems to be where that one is heading."
The Daily Mail also reported that a move was on the verge of being completed, quoting £45 million as the fee.
The report also stated that both Ake and Oleksandr Zinchenko were of interest to Tuchel, alongside Sterling, with the England international set to sign a four-year deal.
Scoring 91 Premier League goals in 225 appearances, Sterling played a key part as his side lifted four domestic league titles during his time in Manchester but could be set to make the move back south.
Tuchel has already been promised up to six signings this summer by the new owners at Chelsea, with the attack and defence eyed as the priority.
Sterling could be the first name through the door before his Man City teammate could also join, with the Blues said to be keen on signing Nathan Ake.
It remains to be seen whether a double swoop could be pulled off as Guardiola’s side negotiate with the Blues.
