According to a joint report today by Simon Johnson, David Ornstein, and Sam Lee, Chelsea have formally approached Manchester City regarding the transfer of Sterling.

Having previously reported on Chelsea's growing confidence in completing this deal, this new development is substantial, with the CItyzens expecting to receive an opening bid imminently. With both clubs reportedly willing to come to an agreement, there is potential for significant movement of this transfer in the coming week.
