England and Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling has given Chelsea Coach Thomas Tuchel a condition if the Blues want him to cross to the London side.
The 27-year-old wants to get assurance for play time from Tuchel before pitching his tent with the London club.
Chelsea want to make Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling their headline signing this summer and are prepared to pay up £60million, the UK Sun reports.
Chelsea’s new owners are ready to back Thomas Tuchel with a £200m warchest and make significant additions to a squad, as they seek to keep pace with City and Liverpool next season.
Sterling has just a year left on his contract and most likely to become a free agent next year.
City boss, Pep Guardiola, would prefer to keep Sterling, but the club don’t want to lose one of their prize assets on a free transfer next summer.
Sterling is keen on a return to his London roots, but will seek assurances from Tuchel over the role his likely to play in his plans.
Tuchel already has an abundance of attacking options in his squad, but with doubts over the futures of Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic, he is likely to be able to offer Sterling the guarantee of first team football he craves.
