Chelsea's interest in Sterling 'genuine', waiting to hear City's asking price - Romano (reliability: 5 stars)

Raheem Sterling could be a legitimate transfer target for Chelsea this summer.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues' interest in the England international is 'genuine' as they look to bolster their attacking options.

However, there still have not been talks with Man City, with Chelsea waiting to hear how much it would cost to buy the player whose contract expires in a year.

Chelsea's interest in Sterling is confirmed by The Athletic, as well as the bit about the lack of talks between the clubs.

The Blues were also linked with Gabriel Jesus, but Arsenal appear to be the frontrunners to sign the Brazilian.
