After seven brilliant seasons in Manchester, the former Liverpool star has declared he is leaving the Citizens.
The transfer of English striker Raheem Sterling from Manchester City to Chelsea has set supporters' tongues churning.
Sterling confirmed his departure from the Premier League winners after seven years and signed a five-year deal with the London club.
Online discussion on the deal was rather heated, with some fans applauding the player and others being wary or downright gloomy about it.
Another person claimed that because he joined Chelsea during the height of his career, his entrance at the club is an upgrade. When Sterling, now 27, joined Manchester City as a 20-year-old, he amassed 11 trophies during that time.
Others just expressed their hope that Sterling will have fun playing for Thomas Tuchel's team.
One supporter claims that Sterling would have been better off returning to Liverpool, who just let Sadio Mane to go with Bayern Munich.
Another, though, projected that Sterling will struggle at the London club, much like Daniel Sturridge, a former teammate of his at Liverpool.
One person praised Chelsea for their transfer coup while criticizing Barcelona, who are about to finalize the Raphinha acquisition. Before Leeds United made the announcement that a deal with the Catalan team was about to be finalized, the Brazilian had been initially linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
A supporter mentioned what he anticipates from Sterling, who played 339 times for Manchester City in all competitions, scoring 131 goals and collecting 95 assists.
Despite signing the attacker to a long-term contract, one circumspect supporter pointed out what the London club must do.
