Chelsea close to snapping up two Manchester City stars

Chelsea have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Manchester City stars Gabriel Jesus and his team-mate Raheem Sterling.

Both players are entering the final years of their contracts at the Etihad Stadium, with Jesus expected to leave the club after the arrival of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

According to The Evening Standard, Jesus’ representatives are exploring all available options to him, with the Brazilian sounding out a number of clubs before making a decision on his future.

One of those clubs is Chelsea, who have been offered the opportunity to sign Jesus, whose agents have already held talks with Tottenham and Arsenal.

The report also states that Chelsea are interested in a move for Sterling.

Reports suggest several European heavyweights increasingly feel Sterling is open to leaving the club – despite not yet revealing his intentions about his future.

As earlier reported, Chelsea want to sign Sterling for around £60million – but the player wants guarantees from manager Thomas Tuchel that he will not be left warming the bench.

The 27-year-old’s contract at the Etihad expires in 2023, meaning Pep Guardiola’s side could sell him this summer to avoid losing him for nothing, but the club may demand as much as £50m-60m for him.
