Chelsea could make a late punt to land Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
According to Givemesport, Chelsea could make a late move to sign Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
The Portuguese international is one of the greatest players in the history of the game, and at 37, still has a few years left in him. He is keen to experience Champions League football this season, something Man United are in no position to offer him.
Ronaldo has been linked with an exit all summer, and he is far from a first-team regular at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag brought him off the bench for the last two games, and it could hint at him having to toe the line under the new boss.
Despite the issues, Ronaldo is a proven goalscorer and has not let age slow him down. He topped the Red Devils’ scoring charts last season and can still lead the line for a top side in European football. Chelsea, on the other hand, need just a player following the summer exits of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.
Armando Broja has so far failed to impress, while Kai Havertz has disappointed. Summer signing Raheem Sterling is the club’s top scorer but could not provide a clinical presence up front. Securing Ronaldo will also be a statement of sorts for a side that has looked far from formidable this campaign.
With just hours to go before the summer transfer window slams shut, the Blues could be set to make one last throw of the dice to land Ronaldo. Todd Boehly is keen on securing the Red Devils’ ace and could fork out the £27m needed to take him to the Bridge.
A Man United legend, Ronaldo donning a domestic rival’s jersey would be unthinkable for the Red Devils faithful. However, the Blues can offer him a shot at Europe’s top table and also match his current pay scale. Jorge Mendes has had conversations with Boehly, and there is a direct line of communication that could be utilised in the coming hours. With the deal for Anthony Gordon going nowhere, Ronaldo could be back on the radar.
Tuchel and co slumped to their second defeat of the season last night, this time to Southampton. The lack of an infallible goalscorer is apparent, and signing Ronaldo could be a final throw of the dice from Chelsea as they look to salvage their season.
