Revealed: What Tuchel told Raheem Sterling that ‘convince’ him to sign for Chelsea
Raheem Sterling has been signed by Chelsea, and the announcement is imminent.
The England international left today for LA to join his new teammates, and today he shared the statement below as a farewell to Manchester City supporters on his social media sites.
The only thing left to do at this point is wait for Chelsea to make the official announcement, which will take place in Los Angeles. Sterling will look to integrate as quickly as he can with Thomas Tuchel and his new teammates.
As The Athletic revealed today, Tuchel was a major factor in getting the contract for Sterling.
The Chelsea manager took an active role in the talks with Sterling, speaking with him directly about the transfer and assuring him of his position at Chelsea.
The excerpt below shows how well the two got along and had “constructive” chats.
This is encouraging for the project Tuchel is building up.
